Ein hüpsch nüw Lied von den dryzehen oertern einer ehrlichen unnd loblichen Eydgnoschafft sampt den Bünten
A 1556 German-language printed songsheet title page, probably published by Samuel Apiarius, likely for a Swiss audience, with its song text set in blackletter type. The page is framed by a circular woodcut of a coat of arms and figures at its centre, surrounded by ornamental borders. A designer might take the dense blackletter typography and the roundel framing a central emblem as a model for early printed heraldic title layouts.
