Schorr, Nikolaus · 1552 · [Matthias Apiarius] · 1 picture

A 1552 German broadside ballad by Nikolaus Schorr, printed by Matthias Apiarius and held by ZB Zürich, urging the Swiss Confederation to take heed during the Swabian war. The picture is a woodcut title block of a seated armed figure, probably the Virgin Mary, holding a sword and shield beneath a scrolled Gothic blackletter heading. Its strong black outlines, dense hatching and framed lettering offer a model for bold, high-contrast emblematic graphics.
