Ein schön new geystlich Lied, vom Schlaff und Aufferstehung der Christen
A 1579 German devotional broadside-style pamphlet, a spiritual hymn about sleep and the resurrection of Christians, printed by an unidentified publisher and held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek. Its single woodcut shows robed figures rising toward a radiant sun and clouds above a row of sleeping or waking people, framed by a black-ruled border under a large blackletter title. A designer might take the framed woodcut-within-title-page layout, the dense blackletter typography, and the contrast of radiant heavenly light against the crowded earthbound figures.
