A 1608 German broadside song printed by Johann Lepreux, recounting the beheading and burning at Sursee of Martin du Voysin, a Basel weaver executed for his Gospel faith, and written for Protestant readers. The first picture is a decorative typeset page with a strapwork header, four lines of verse set in blackletter, and a symmetrical ornamental cartouche below, offering a designer a model for scroll-and-flourish borders and framed text blocks; the second is a purple Zurich city library stamp, which is a scan mark rather than part of the book.
