Lötscher, Hans · 1662 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 2 pictures

A 1662 German devotional broadside-style songbook of a spiritual hymn, written by Hans Lötscher and published by Georg Sonnleitner, meant as a warning against certain popular abuses of the day. The two woodcuts are small, rough and crowded: one is a decorative scrolled ornament with foliate curls and a central pendant, and the other shows a seated figure with a group of onlookers under trees, both printed on speckled paper with a slightly uneven impression that a designer could borrow for hand-cut, folk-style ornament and crowded narrative scenes.
