Ein hüpsch nüw Lied und warhaffte Geschicht von der Schlacht in Pemont vor Carmiolen beschähen uff den Ostermentag 1544 ...
A 1544 German broadside ballad printed by Samuel Apiarius and written by Caspar Suter, telling of a battle in Piedmont near Carmagnola fought on Easter Monday, for a popular audience of readers and listeners. The woodcut shows dense crowds of pikemen and soldiers surging forward under a bank of flags, with fallen bodies in the foreground, a compact sixteenth-century battle composition a designer could borrow for crowd density and dramatic diagonal movement.
