Zwey schöne Newe Geistliche Lieder
A 1674 German book of two new sacred songs, printed by Johann Adam Baldinger and credited to Hans Schmid, held by the UB Bern library. The single picture is a dark woodcut-style ornament: a symmetrical fan-shaped florals motif with scrolls, star-like sprigs and a central stem hanging from a rounded top edge, set on a blank page with no text. A designer might take the cartouche's symmetry and the interlaced curling foliage as a model for a period-style border or header.
