Ein gar schön Lied geschehen vor Bünterlin in Burgund gelägen : jn der Wyss, Die niderländischen Herren sind zogen ins Oberland

Weber, Veit · 1601 · [Hans Rudolf Wyssebach] · 1 picture

A 1601 German broadside ballad printed in Switzerland, attributed to Veit Weber, telling of a battle at Bünterlin in Burgundy and sung to the tune of the Dutch lords marching into the Oberland. The title page is set in black-letter type with a woodcut of a single armed figure carrying a long pole with a banner, holding a sword at the hip. The figure's stance and slashed sleeves show dress of the period, and a designer could take from it the compact vertical composition of a figure framed by heavy type above.
