Ein schön new Lied/ Vom Wilhelm Thellen : Wie ein Löbliche Eydgnoßschafft ist entsprungen. In seiner bekandten Melodey zu singen

Muheim, Hieronymus · 1700 · [Johann Konrad von Mechel] · 2 pictures

A 1700 Swiss broadside ballad, the 'Wilhelm Tell' song by Hieronymus Muheim, printed in Zürich by Johann Konrad von Mechel for popular sale and singing to a known melody, and held by the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. Its woodcut shows an archer with a crossbow aiming at a figure beside a tree, drawn in coarse, bold black line with a simple landscape behind, a useful model for rustic folk-print imagery.
