Ein news lied von bekerung des Gaistlichen Stands Contrare inn Toller weyß zuo singen

1535 · [Silvan Otmar] · 1 picture

A 1535 German broadside song sheet, printed in Augsburg-area Reformation circles by Silvan Otmar, mocking the clergy and meant to be sung to a tune. The single woodcut shows a bearded figure in a tall hat and long layered robe, standing stiffly with a hand at his side, and its bold black outlines and simple shading suggest a strong, direct image for posters or packaging with a satirical edge.
