Fünf schöne neue Handwerks-Lieder : Das Erste: Müller-Lied ...

Jacobi, Johann Georg · [ohne Drucker] · 1 picture

A German trade-song sheet of five songs, the first being a miller's song, attributed to Johann Georg Jacobi with no printer named, likely printed for working people and street singers. Its single picture is a crude woodcut of a prancing horse with a shaded, hatched body and flowing mane, stamped with a Lörrach library mark that a designer should ignore. The horse's rough, hand-cut line and bold outline suggest a simple, direct folk-print vocabulary for rustic or craft-themed work.
