1577 · by Samuel Apiario · 2 pictures

A 1577 German-language pamphlet printed in Zurich by Samuel Apiario, recounting the 1512 Battle of Novara between the King of France and the Duke of Milan together with the Swiss Confederates, aimed at a general readership. Its hand-coloured woodcuts show armoured pikemen and soldiers in period dress, with a plain, lively, early-modern woodcut style a designer could draw on for historical costume and battle scenes.
