Zwey schöne Lieder, Das Erste: Von Graf Friderich, ... Das Ander: Von dem edlen Ritter Dannhäuser, ...

1647 · [Sonnleitner?] · 1 picture

A 1647 German songbook of two ballads, Zwey schöne Lieder, printed for popular singing and probably published by Sonnleitner, held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek. Its single picture is a woodcut of a rider on horseback beside a stone tower, set in a black-letter title page with large display type. A designer could take from it the dense blackletter hierarchy of sizes and the simple, sturdy woodcut vocabulary of a knight and horse in a tower setting.
