Ein schöns Lied, von einer Königin auss Laparten, wie grewlich sy jren Ehegemahl vmb das leben hat gebracht. Jn des Speten thon
A 1590 German broadside ballad printed by Valentin Schönigk at Augsburg for popular street sale, its title set in heavy blackletter type. The woodcut shows a queen in a canopied bed stabbing or attacking her husband while a figure with a club and a dark doorway stand by, in a crude, bold, high-contrast style a designer could borrow for dramatic narrative panels.
