Weber, Veit · 1601 · by Rudolff Wyssenbach · 1 picture

A 1601 German broadside ballad printed in Zurich by Rudolff Wyssenbach, written by Veit Weber, telling of the Swiss Confederates' battle against Duke Charles of Burgundy at Murten and set to a known tune for popular singing. The single woodcut shows a walled hilltop town with towers and a gate above a steep bank, framed by a black-letter title block; a designer might borrow its bold blackletter display type and compact, stacked title layout.
