1552 · [Jakob Kündig] · 2 pictures

A 1552 German broadside ballad printed in Zurich, published by Jakob Kündig and held by the ZB Zürich, describing the Swabian war between the Emperor and the King of France for a general readership. The pictures are small woodcuts: a framed pair of armoured figures with crowns, swords and heraldic shields on the title sheet, and a tiny figure in a landscape beneath the title, suited to designers seeking compact historical woodcut vignettes with heraldry and warrior imagery.
