Kurtze Erzehlung/ Was in währender Belägerung Franckenthals/ von Tag zu Tag/ biß zum Ende derselbigen/ sich begeben/ vnd zu getragen : Sampt einem Loblied/ der Statt Franckenthal/ Jn der Melodey zu singen/ Wilhelmus von Nassawe/ bin ich von Teutschem Blut/ [et]c
A 1621 German broadside-style pamphlet printed in Heidelberg, recounting day by day the siege of Frankenthal and including a hymn in praise of the town, sung to the tune of the Wilhelmus; it is a Zurich Zentralbibliothek copy with no named publisher. Its one picture is a decorative ornamental cartouche with scrollwork, foliage and fleshy curling forms framing the title block, set above a plain printed title page. A designer might take from it the dense, symmetrical strapwork of early seventeenth-century German title pages, useful for classical border and frame motifs.
