Die Schlacht vor Sempach : so beschehen im 1386. Jar, uff Sanct Cirillen Tag, in Lucerner Biet gelägen
A 1580 German broadside-style ballad pamphlet by Hans Halbsuter, probably printed by Samuel Apiarius, recounting the 1386 Battle of Sempach for a popular Swiss readership. The single woodcut on the title page shows a armoured soldier in a feathered hat holding a red-and-white banner on a pole, drawn in bold outlines with flat hand-coloured orange and red, a useful model for bold narrative folk imagery.
