Ein schön neu Lied vom Wilhelm Tellen, wie ein löbliche Eidgnossschafft ist entsprungen : in seiner bekandten Melodey zu singen
A German broadside ballad printed in 1708, likely by Johann Konrad von Mechel, telling the Wilhelm Tell story of Swiss liberty for a popular audience. The single woodcut shows a crossbowman aiming at a figure beside a tree, with two onlookers and a hilly landscape, giving a designer a clear, simple composition of archery and tension in a rustic woodcut style.
