1558 · [Samuel Apiarius] · 1 picture

A 1558 German broadside song sheet, printed in Zürich by Samuel Apiarius for a general popular readership, with its title in heavy blackletter type above a single woodcut. The picture shows a standing bear with a spear and a drinking horn addressing a seated wolf, a simple narrative cut a designer could use for folk-tale or animal-fable motifs.
