Vier schöne newe geistliche Lieder/ Vom Jüngsten Tag

1650 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 2 pictures

A 1650 German devotional songbook of four hymns on the Last Day, printed by Georg Sonnleitner for a Lutheran-era congregational and household readership. The first picture is a woodcut of a bearded man in a cap pointing upward beside a block of black-letter text, and the second is a stylised woodcut urn with flowers and foliage; a designer might take from them the dense hierarchy of blackletter hymn headings and the bold, simple woodcut ornament of the period.
