1665 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 1 picture

A 1665 German broadside song about the origins of the old Swiss, published by Georg Sonnleitner and held by the UB Bern library, printed to be sung to a known hymn melody. The single picture is a woodcut ornamental headpiece of scrolling foliage and a central fleur-de-lis cartouche, useful for a designer seeking early modern border and divider motifs with strong symmetry.
