Abzugslieder der vier Waldstätten-Truppen nach Basel

1792 · gedruckt bey Joseph Aloys Salzmann · 2 pictures

A German-language songbook of departure songs for the four Waldstätten (Swiss forest cantons) troops marching to Basel, printed in 1792 by Joseph Aloys Salzmann, held by the University Library Bern. The pictures are small woodcut vignettes: one shows a Swiss soldier in a feathered helmet and kilt beside a tent and a tower, the other a helmet, pennon, spear and bundled arrows over a rolled scroll, giving a designer compact, legible motifs of military pageantry and folk print decoration.
