A 17th-century German broadside ballad titled Ein schön newes Lied von Wilhelm Tellen, printed in Basel by Johann-Jacob Decker for popular singing to a known tune. The woodcut below the title shows William Tell with a crossbow and apple beside a figure with a pole and a group of armed men in a hilly landscape, a clear narrative scene a designer could use for historical or folk-style compositions.
