Ein schön newes Liedt : vonn der grossen Zauberey des Strötzenbechers und Gödige Michael, wie sy so schendtlich auff dem Wasser geraubet haben
A broadside ballad printed in German in 1590 by Valentin Schönigk, a Nuremberg-area printer working at the Frauenthor, for a popular audience buying cheap songsheets. Its single woodcut shows a sea battle, and the text is a sensational song about sorcery and piracy on the water, so a designer might take its dense black-letter headline and its crowded, action-packed scene as models for period-style graphics.
