1594 · durch Michael Forstern · 1 picture

A 1594 German prayer pamphlet, 'Ein Gebet Wider den Türcken', printed by Michael Forstern for singing against the Turks and Christianity's enemies in a time of great need. Its single picture is a black-and-white woodcut printer's ornament: a winged cherub face centred between two griffin-headed scroll supports, with flourishes below, a compact model of symmetrical Renaissance decorative framing a designer could adapt for borders or emblems.
