Zwey schöne neue Lieder
A German broadside-style songsheet printed in 1710, presumably by Niklaus Emanuel Haller, held by the University Library Bern, offering two new songs for singing at home or in company. The first picture is a title page set in heavy black blackletter with a central ornamental cartouche of foliage and a central mask, closed by a line reading 'Getruckt im Jahr Christi 1710'. The second shows a repeating band of stylised scroll and bracket ornament in dark ink on pale paper, a usable model for border and frieze patterns, with the heavy blackletter display type and symmetrical cartouche a designer could take for period title-page hierarchy.
