Biographical/historical: The German illustrator and writer Lothar Meggendorfer, 1847-1925, was known for his pop-up books as well as his humorous drawings. He contributed to the bi-weekly Münchener Bilderbogen beginning in 1868.
Biographical/historical: The character Pierrot, who probably originated in the Italian commedia dell'arte, first became popular in seventeenth-century France. Over the centuries his persona has acquired many dimensions, notably that of the sad clown. This comic strip, however, emphasizes his buffoonish side.

Wood engravings
Extent: 1 print : wood engraving, black and white ; 45 x 35 cm.
Description
Comic strip in twelve drawings, published in the periodical Münchener Bilderbogen, depicting the misadventures of Pierrot at a masked ball. Wearing his iconic white clown suit trimmed with a ruff and pompoms, a black half-mask obscuring his face, Pierrot sprints athletically through the scenes, causing havoc among the elegantly dressed guests, waiters, and musicians. Each scene is accompanied by a rhymed couplet in German.
