1579 · bey Samuel Apiario · 1 picture

A 1579 German broadside ballad printed by Samuel Apiarius, a Basel printer, and held by the Zentralbibliothek Zürich, intended for popular singing to a known tune. The single woodcut shows a seated group at a table with figures in period dress, framed beneath the large black-letter title block. Its bold blackletter display type, dense title lines and compact woodcut panel offer a designer a model for hierarchical text-and-image layouts on a printed sheet.
