1587 · bey Christian Trauw-Gott · 1 picture

A 1587 German broadside ballad printed at Christianstadt by Christian Trautgott for a general readership, telling of the march on Mülhausen and sung to a known tune. The title page carries a woodcut of two armoured soldiers flanking a large spoked wheel, with a bold blackletter title above and a colophon below; a designer might take its compact framing and the stark, blocky figure carving as a model for woodcut-style emblems.
