A 1562 German broadside ballad printed by Matthäus Francken, held by the Zentralbibliothek Zürich, celebrating a battle in France on St Thomas's day and sung to a known hymn tune for ordinary readers. The woodcut title picture shows two armoured soldiers in combat beneath a banner, with trumpeters above and a lettered black-letter title block, offering a designer a compact model of early modern German print hierarchy and bold display lettering.
