A 1656 German broadside ballad printed without a named printer, recounting the battle of Villmergen fought on 24 January between the Bernese and Lucerne forces with the free offices and the Catholic faith at stake, set to a three-part song for singing. The page is set as a dense block of black-letter type in a centred layout, with a woodcut heraldic shield at the centre of the lower half that a designer might borrow as a coat-of-arms motif for a historical or regional theme.
