A 1712 German-language political pamphlet issued by the city and republic of Bern, addressing the Villmergen War against the Lucerne and Uri cantons, and aimed at a general readership of the Swiss Confederation. The one picture is a decorated initial letter with a large ornamental capital E-shaped flourish of interlaced scrollwork beside the opening lines of body text in blackletter type. A designer might take from it the dense, looping Baroque initial and the contrast of heavy ornament against plain columned text.
