Ein schöne Tageweyss von eines Königs Tochter : im Thon: es wonet Lieb bey Liebe etc

1530 · bey Michael Manger · 1 picture

A 1530 German songbook title page printed in Augsburg by Michael Manger, offering a tune for a lied about a king's daughter, likely for singers and households. The hand-coloured woodcut below the title shows a richly dressed figure with raised arms beside a small crouching figure among trees, and a designer could take its bold outlines, flat colour blocks and compact title-page layout as a model for early print typography.
