Das Lied von der Schlacht beschehen vor Sempach in Lucerner Biet gelegen : anno 1386
A 1601 German-language ballad sheet printed in Zürich by Rudolph Wyssenbach, recounting the 1386 Battle of Sempach and its Lucerne setting, written by Hans Halbsuter. The title page is set in blackletter type with a small woodcut of a mounted rider with a horn and a lance, plus a pictorial seal-like mark in the upper right. A designer could take from it the compact hierarchy of a vernacular title page, where a single crude woodcut of a horseman carries the narrative and the blackletter lines are centred and stacked.
