Ein hübsch new Liedt, von dem gehepten Pündtner Krieg, so im 1621. Jahr ist gehalten worden : gatt fast in der Wiss wie Bruder Claussen Liedt, doch nit zfollen

1621 · bey Jacob Stuber · 1 picture

A 1631 Bernese broadside song sheet printed by Jacob Stuber in Bern for popular readers, recounting the 1621 Grisons (Pündtner) war. Its single woodcut shows a halberd-carrying soldier in a plumed hat and loose doublet standing full length beside the black-letter German text block, with a small decorative initial above the title. A designer could take the stark, blocky woodcut figure and the dense gothic typography as a model for bold black-and-white folk-print character.
