A 1558 printed ballad in German, published in Bern by Samuel Apiario, telling the origins of the Swiss Confederation and the legend of Wilhelm Tell against Duke Charles of Burgundy. The title page woodcut shows an armored crossbowman aiming at a target beside a boy, with a walled town and a dog in the background, a plain narrative device a designer could borrow for historical storytelling.
