Fliegende Blätter
The Fliegende Blätter ("Flying Leaves"; also translated as "Flying Pages" or "Loose Sheets")[1] was a German weekly non-political[2] humor and satire magazine appearing between 1845 and 1944 in Munich. Many of the illustrations were by well-known artists such as Wilhelm Busch, Count Franz Pocci, Hermann Vogel, Carl Spitzweg, Julius Klinger, Edmund Harburger, Adolf Oberländer and others. It was published by Braun & Schneider, a company belonging to the wood engraver Kaspar Braun and illustrator Friedrich Schneider.[3] Aimed at the German bourgeoisie, it reached a maximum circulation of c.95,000 copies by 1895. It merged in 1928 with a competitor, the Meggendorfer-Blätter.[2]
