Ein schön new Lied von dem durchleüchtigen hochgebornen Fürsten unnd Herrn Herrn Hertzog Eberhardt zuo Wirtenberg etc : seinen F.G. zuo Ehren gemacht : im Thon wie man den Grauen von Rom singt

1569 · [Thiebold Berger] · 1 picture

A 1569 German broadside song sheet printed by Thiebold Berger, honouring Duke Eberhard of Württemberg and sung to the tune of the Count of Rome. The single woodcut shows a standing figure in a fur-trimmed cloak and cap holding a red rose, with a hand-coloured print on paper with a dated lettering block beneath. A designer might take its simple bold outline figure, flat colour blocks and folk costume as a model for period woodcut character.
