Trawriges Klag-Lied Deß Bärens, Vber Die verlohrne Schlacht, so zu Vilmärgen gehalten worden. Jm Thon: Wie man den Thanhuser singt

1656 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A 1656 German broadside ballad titled Trawriges Klag-Lied Deß Bärens, a mournful song about a lost battle at Vilmärgen, printed with a publisher that cannot be identified and held by the ZB Zürich library, meant to be sung to a known tune. Its single woodcut shows a bear standing on a rocky ground beside a tree, set between the title block and the imprint line, which suits designers looking for compact, folk-style animal emblems with strong black outlines.
