Gletting, Benedict, Gletting, Benedikt · 1572 · [Samuel Apiarius] · 1 picture

A 1572 German broadside song sheet by Benedict Gletting, printed in Zurich by Samuel Apiarius for popular singing, probably held by the Zurich Central Library. The single picture is a woodcut of two standing soldiers in plumed hats and period dress, one holding a staff and the other a sword, set in a rural landscape beneath the title type. A designer could take from it the compact way early German printers combined a bold blackletter title block with a small framed scene.
