Ein hübsch new Lied von den geystlichen und teütschen Fursten und dem newen Bundt : in Jörg Schillers Thon zuo singen

1538 · an der Wyssenbrucken [Wolfgang Friess] · 2 pictures

A 1538 German broadside song sheet printed at Basel by Wolfgang Friess, set to a tune by Jörg Schiller and addressed to a general readership of the Reformation era. Its pictures are small woodcut-style devices: a heraldic coat of arms with initials framed by a border, and a dense interlace ornament of knotted loops, suited to designers seeking early printed ornament and pattern.
