Ein schön Tagweyss : gantz kläglich zu lesen oder zu singen, newlich in Gesangsweyss gestellt : im Thon: es wohnet Lieb bey Liebe, darzuo gross Herztenleydt

1570 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A 1570 German broadsheet ballad printed for singing to a known tune, with a hand-coloured woodcut at its head; the publisher is unidentified and the copy is held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek. The single picture shows a group of figures in period dress gathered under a tree on a grassy ground, with bold outlines, flat colour and a crowded composition a designer could borrow for folk-style framing or early-modern costume references.
