Ein schön new geistlich Lied : Der gläubigen Seel zu Christo Jesu, ihrem Brütigam : im Thon, Ach hertzigs Hertz mit, etc
A 1623 German devotional hymn sheet, printed by Jakob Stuber and held by the UB Bern library, meant to be sung by believers. The two pictures are crude woodcuts on aged paper: a full-length female figure with flying hair and arms raised in ecstatic gesture, and a symmetrical ornamental scroll cartouche with curling foliage. A designer could draw on the gestural energy of the figure and the dense, balanced scrollwork for border or panel motifs.
