1580 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A 1580 German song sheet printed with woodcut-style illustration, publisher unidentified, held by the University Library Bern, offering several popular Lieder for singing. The single picture shows a peasant couple in a dance or courtship scene, with the man in a feathered cap and the woman in a long dress, set above lines of black-letter text. A designer might take from it the crude, energetic line of early woodcut, with bold black hatching and simple figure silhouettes that read clearly at small size.
