Morgarten : ein schön new Lied von der Schlacht zwüschend Hertzog Leopolden und den drey freyen Reychslenderen, beschehen auff S. Otmarstag, den 16. Novemb. im Jar 1315
A 1601 German broadside ballad printed in Switzerland, published by Rudolf Wyssenbach, commemorating the 1315 Battle of Morgarten between Duke Leopold and the three Forest Cantons. The title page shows two armed foot soldiers in short tunics, hats and feathered caps, leaning on long pikes and halberds, rendered in a dense woodcut line style with a bold black-letter title above. A designer might draw on its stark, compact engraved figures and heavy blackletter lettering for historical or folk-themed print work.
