Ein schön neu Lied/ Von einer Braut zu Farwangen/ Welche selbs fünfft ertruncken in dem Hallwiler-See/ als sie zu Rinach hatten wöllen Hochzeit halten
A 1686 German broadside song sheet by Heinrich Estermann, held by the ZB Zürich, telling of a bride from Farwangen who drowned with four companions in Lake Hallwil while travelling to a wedding at Rinach. The pictures are rough black woodcuts: a dense curling ornamental border or initial, and a framed scene of two bearded men in period dress, one playing a lute and one holding a sprig, which a designer could take as a model for simple, bold, hand-cut narrative vignettes and decorative corner ornament.
