Ein hüpsch Lied von dem edlen Hiltebrandt
A 1558 German song-book printed by Apiarius, likely in Bern or Zürich, telling the ballad of the noble Hildebrand for a popular audience. Its single woodcut shows a bearded rider on a horse beside a woman in a doorway at a brick wall, drawn with bold, simple outlines and hatching that a designer could borrow for rustic, early-modern narrative imagery.
