1631 · 1 picture

A 1631 German broadside song sheet, the Ach vnd Klag Lied of Augsburg's distressed Evangelical citizens, printed for a Protestant readership and preserved by the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. The single picture is a woodcut printer's ornament: a bearded, crowned mask framed by scrolled cartouche work, with a library stamp in the lower right that should be ignored. A designer could draw on its symmetrical baroque scrollwork and centred mask as a model for decorative frames and emblematic headpieces.
