Ein hüpsch nüw Lied zuo Lob und Eheren den frommen Landtlütten Eschi, Mülinen und Rychenbach ...

Gletting, Benedict · 1552 · [Mathia Apiario] · 1 picture

A 1552 German songbook printed in Switzerland by Mathias Apiarius for the people of Eschi, Mülinen and Rychenbach, a song in praise of local farmers and townsfolk. Its title page shows three woodcut figures in a row, each with a crown, a sword or staff and a shield, standing on a low ground line in a simple black-and-cream block-print style that a designer could borrow for heraldic-style figure groups or medieval-inspired borders.
