Ein Hüpsch alt Lied/ Von der Schlacht der dreyen Granwen Bündten
A 1585 German broadside ballad, printed by Samuel Apiarius and held by the University Library Bern, telling of the battle of the Three Leagues of Grisons. Its single woodcut shows armoured soldiers with pikes and halberds massed in a crowded battle scene, a dense, hatched black-and-white print a designer could draw on for period conflict motifs and tightly packed crowd compositions.
