1590 · bey Michael Manger · 1 picture

A 1590 German songbook of two broadside-style songs printed by Michael Manger and held by the ZB Zürich, intended for singers who would perform the lyrics to a known tune. The page shows two hand-coloured woodcut figures: a young man in a plumed cap and purple cloak with a sword on the left, and a woman in a patterned gown holding a flower on the right, set beneath a black-letter title in a framed header.
