Sechs schöne Neue Lieder : Das Erste: Beschattet von der Pappelweide, am grün etc. ...

Voß, Johann Heinrich · [ohne Drucker] · 1 picture

This 18th-century German songbook of six new songs, attributed to Johann Heinrich Voß, has no named printer and was held by the Zürich Zentralbibliothek. Its single woodcut shows a costumed figure standing before a table of musical instruments, with a lute, a music book, and a viol-like instrument arranged around a drape and columns. A designer might take from it the compact, ornamental woodcut framing of a text block, with its dense hatched shading and tidy vignette layout.
