This is a presentation of historical comics, intended to enlighten and amuse students of comics history, (and to provide their teachers with reference material.)
Maybe these early comics will also inspire some of today's comics artists.
Most were scanned by me, ususally from books or magazines lent to me. Sometimes I get sent a dvd with scans someone made from his own collection.

The famous 'progressions' by Hogarth were not actually comics. The images don't lead into and don't interact with each other. Each shows a distinct, separate stage of a longer story. However, because of their great popularity, they established the very notion of telling entertaining stories with a series of pictures and so became a highly influencial stepping stone for future developments. <br>

Much more influencial than Hogarth or Goez were the thousands of British political cartoons. Most were just that, cartoons, meaning single image jokes. However, a huge number of them used (and developed the use of) speechbaloons. And a good number did in fact use two or more interdependant images to tell a story. (That means they were comics.)

<br>
This is not a comic. It's not even a sequential series of images, like a Hogarthian progress, or even illustrations of a novel.
But it can be seen as a milestone in comics history, because of the influence on Rodolphe Toepffer, who imitated the type of main character, the drawing style and the general atmosphere of countryfied wackyness.
The use and re-use of one striking visual character, generally recognized and popular, is certainly typical of many comics to come.<br>

<span style="font-size: 260%;">The Birth of Modern Comics (1800-1860) </span>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" width="980"><tr> <td bgcolor="#000033">
<br>
Modern comics, with a storytelling vocabulary that's still used today, were developed in America's newspaper strips, circa 1900-1920. They were mostly following a tradition of short, colourful picture-stories for children. The direct influence was the slapstick work by Wilhelm Busch and others in a similar vein. But that in turn was built on a sixty year (or more) tradition of children's comics.
<br>
Busch started working in 1859, for a series of picture broadsheets called 'M&uuml;nchner Bilderbogen' (See below, or click <a href="e.busch.html">here</a> for examples), which had been going since 1849, a series which included many inventive and sumptiously illustrated comics from the start. These were themselves influenced by the charmingly naive 'Neuruppiner Bilderbogen', which started producing comic-like picture stories in 1835.
<br>
And those again were influenced by British chapbooks with comic-like picture stories, starting around 1800.
<br>
Even earlier were precursors in Holland.
<br>
<br>
Below are a number of examples, in case you think I'm making this all up.
<br>
First two very early examples from Holland. It seems that although the Dutch had the most spectacular fall in artistic relevance around 1700, there still was an important tradition of printmaking, and highly important for the development of comics.
<br>

<a name="urbanus.and.isabel">

They marry. He goes off whoring. She divorces him. Years later he comes crawling back and she is overjoyed to take him back and all is well.
<br>
Maybe this one wasn't a childrens story yet (although you never know with the Dutch), but the next one is.

This predates the famous Grimm's version by 11 years.
<br>
<a href="e.roodkapje.1800.html"><img src="t.roodkapje.1800.jpg"border="0"></a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
From around 1800 the most important country for comics is England. Here stories told in pictures turn up inside chap-books.
Chapbooks were small booklets of four, (or multiples of four: 8, 12,...) pages, and sold by itinerant merchants or chapmen (Old English: ceapman from 'ceap' - bargaining, trade) from the 16th to the early 19th century. They were illustrated with woodcuts and had stories of popular heroes, folklore, famous crimes, ballads, nursery rhymes, schooltexts (ABCs), bible tales, etc, and were the main literature beside the bible for the common man and children.
They too were sometimes sold as sheets which had to be cut up and bound, DIY-fashion.
<br>
Most chapbooks were not comics of course, but enough of them were to constitute a genuine and influential tradition.
Some of the examples below are from American edtions. I'm not sure if these were reprints, copies or original.

These chapbooks had an important influence on the next stage of mass-market comics for children.
In the mid 1830s the little town of Neuruppin, north of Berlin, became an important centre for picture sheets. A good number of these were comics. Below are a few early examples.
<br>
<br>
Later on, in 1848, these Neuruppiner Bilderbogen themselves influenced the more sophisticated 'M&uuml;nchner Bilderbogen' (Munich picture broadsheets), where in 1859 the great Wilhelm Busch started his own brand of picture stories, which would influence cartoonists all over the world, and eventually the Sunday supplement comics. In other words, there is a direct line of influence from the Dutch broadsheets/ English chapbooks to 20th century comics.

Original manuscript version of Monsieur Vieuxbois, 1827 (30 pages/158 panels) with text typed out underneath, and a translation. The first <b>printed</b> edition was published ten years later, expanded to 88 pages/198 panels. The second edition 1839 (as presented above on my own site) had 92 pages / 220 panels.<br>
