Ein hüpsch Lied vom Ursprung der Eydgnoschafft unnd dem ersten Eydgnossen Wilhelm Thell genant, ouch von dem Bundt mit sampt einer loblichen Eydgnoschafft, wider Hertzog Carle von Burgund unnd wie er ist erschlagen worden etc
This 1576 German-language ballad sheet was printed at Basel by Samuel Apiario and tells of the origins of the Swiss Confederation, Wilhelm Tell, and the defeat of Duke Charles of Burgundy. Its pictures are a woodcut title panel showing an archer with a crossbow beside a dense ornamental knot border, with the strong black-and-white contrast of early print that a designer could borrow for interlace patterns and heavy woodcut headers.
