Ein schönes Neues Lied : Allen Küher und Berg-Leuthen zu Gunsten ; In der Melodie: Lieber Weydmann [et]c

1700 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A German broadside song sheet from 1700, printed for herdsmen and mountain folk and sung to the tune of 'Lieber Weydmann'; the publisher is unidentified and the copy is held by the University Library in Bern. The single picture is a small printed ornament: a symmetrical cartouche of interlaced scrollwork, acanthus-like leaves and a central knot, cut in woodblock style on pale laid paper, useful to a designer looking for early eighteenth-century decorative borders, headpieces and filigree motifs.
