Heylig Creutz Das ist: Kurtze History/ Von dem Hochheyligen Creutz Christi/ Welches ein Ochs von Braband/ auß der Statt Arras/ in das Land Entlibuch Lucerner Gebiets getragen

1649 · [David Hautt] · 2 pictures

A 1649 Lucerne chapbook printed by David Hautt for a Catholic readership, telling how an ox carried a holy cross from Arras in Brabant to the Entlebuch region. The title page shows a woodcut of a yoked ox pulling a cart beneath a cross, framed by heavy black type. A second picture is a dense black floral ornament printed on mottled paper, a useful model for stamp-like pattern work.
