1590 · [Valentin Schönig] · 2 pictures

A German broadside song sheet printed around 1590, probably by Valentin Schönig, with a woodcut of a merchant's house and a title in blackletter for song singers and street sellers. The first picture is an ornamental woodcut of interlaced scrolls and leaves, useful for borders and decorative frames; the second shows a rich merchant's household in a doorway with a woman at a cradle or basket, a tall bird cage, and a servant, giving a designer period figure poses and interior detail.
