Ein schönes Lied vom Wilhelm Tell, wie ein lobliche Eydgnossschaft entsprungen ist : zu singen in seiner eignen Melodey
A broadside ballad printed in 1728 in German, the Wilhelm Tell song celebrating the origins of the Swiss Confederation, with the publisher unidentified and the copy held by the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. Its single woodcut shows three standing figures in a bordered frame, with rough hatched carving, and a designer might take its bold outline cutting and simple framed composition as a model for stark, folk-style graphics.
