1547 · [Valentin Otmar] · 1 picture

A 1547 German broadside song printed by Valentin Otmar, celebrating Emperor Charles V's campaign near Ingolstadt against the Landgrave of Hesse and Duke Johann Friedrich of Saxony, sung to the tune of the Battle of Pavia. The woodcut shows a double-headed imperial eagle with rays above, a shield of arms in the centre, and the motto PLVS OVLTRE on a scroll between two pillars, a design a designer could borrow for heraldic emblems, imperial insignia, or motto-banner layouts.
