Ein schön newes Kriegs Lied, wie Marggraff Albrecht für Frankfurt gezogen ist : im Thon: Was wöllen wir aber heben an etc

1580 · bey Michael Manger · 1 picture

A sixteenth-century German broadside ballad printed in Augsburg in 1580 by Michael Manger, one of the many songs sold cheaply to a popular readership. The title block is set in large black-letter type above a woodcut of armoured soldiers with pikes and a walled town in the distance. A designer might take from it the bold, dense black-letter display lettering and the crowded, hatched woodcut style used to depict battle.
