Ein Schöner Spruch/ Einer hochloblichen Eydgnoßschafft zu Ehren gemacht
Ein Schöner Spruch is a 1712 German-language printed sheet or small pamphlet by Ulrich Wirri, a verse tribute to the Swiss Confederation, held by the Zurich Central Library; its publisher is not identified. The pictures are small woodcut-style shield and heraldic cartouche blocks with scrolled ornament, diagonal lattice fields and strapwork borders, set beside vertical bands of stylised black ornament, a compact vocabulary a designer could reuse for borders, crests or framing devices.
