Drey schöne Geistliche Lieder

1704 · [Jacob Anthoni Vulpi] · 2 pictures

A German hymnal of 1704, titled Drey schöne Geistliche Lieder, printed by Jacob Anthoni Vulpi and held by UB Bern. Its two pictures are small black woodcut floral ornaments, one a flower-filled basket with a lattice pattern and one a symmetrical trailing vine with a tulip-like bloom. A designer could take from them the compact, dense ornament typical of early eighteenth-century printers' decorations for borders, headpieces and tailpieces.
