Ein schön Tageweiss : von eines Künigs Tochter und einem jungen Ritter, auch vom Zwergen etc. Es wohnet Lieb bey Liebe, darzuo gross Hertzenleydt

1570 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A sixteenth-century German chapbook titled Ein schön Tageweiss, printed in 1570 by an unidentified publisher and held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek, telling a tale of a king's daughter, a young knight and a dwarf for a general readership. The woodcut title page shows two mounted riders in period dress with a small figure below, set in a black-letter Gothic title block with a decorative ornament; a designer might take its bold, blocky Gothic lettering and rough woodcut line for vintage display type and narrative scenes.
