Ein schön newes Lied von Wilhelm Tell

Muheim, Hieronymus · 1619 · durch Wihelm Darballey · 1 picture

A 1619 German broadside ballad printed in Freiburg im Breisgau by Wilhelm Darballey, retelling the William Tell legend by Hieronymus Muheim to be sung to a tune given on the sheet. The woodcut at its head shows a crossbowman shooting an apple from a boy's head beside a soldier with a pike, framed by a title in large blackletter type, a style a designer might borrow for historical or folk-themed lettering.
