Ein gar schön Lied geschehen vnnd gemacht von der statt Büntterlin/ inn Burgund gelegen ...

Weber, Veit, Gletting, Benedict · 1558 · [Samuel Apiarius] · 1 picture

This 1558 printed songsheet, a German-language ballad with woodcut illustration, was made in Basel-area print culture by Samuel Apiarius for popular readers who bought broadside songs. The single picture is a crowded woodcut of a walled town under siege, with soldiers, pikemen, and smoke rising over fortifications, offering a designer a model for dense battle scene composition within a narrow rectangular frame.
