1537 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A 1537 German Protestant songbook of two Christian hymns, printed by an unidentified publisher and held by the University Library Bern, presumably for lay congregational singing. The single picture is a woodcut title-page panel showing a bearded man in a cap pointing with a sword beside a standing figure of Christ with a cross-nimbus and wounds, framed in a rectangle with a bold black-letter title above. A designer might take from it the stark contrast of rough black woodcut line, the framed vignette layout, and the blackletter title block.
