Bärenholds Lustige Feld-Lieder
A German songbook of military field songs printed in 1712 by Niklaus Emanuel Haller and held by UB Bern, with a single decorative woodcut tailpiece. The picture shows a vase of flowers in a woodcut style, with blossoms spilling over a fluted urn on a pedestal, a common ornament of early eighteenth-century German print. A designer could take from it the crisp, heavy line of old relief-printed flower motifs for vintage floral patterns or stamp-like borders.
