Zwey schöne newe Weltliche Lieder. Das erste: Von einem schröcklich grossen Mann, ins Lindenschmidts Thon. Das ander: Also gehts, also stehts, hie auff diser Welte

1620 · [David Franck?] · 1 picture

A 1620 German secular songbook of two broadside-style ballads, probably printed by David Franck and held by the ZB Zürich library, issued for singers and general readers of its day. Its single picture is a woodcut title-page figure: a bearded giant in a tall hat and loose robe, leaning on a staff, set beneath the dense black-letter title and rules, a model for bold, centred, heavy-type title layouts.
