Der alt Gryss : ein nüw Lied der alt Gryss genant, gar Mengen Kriegsman wol bekant, darby ich niemant schmäch noch schend, Gott alle Ding zum besten wendt
A 1550 German woodcut broadsheet song printed by Wyssenbach, attributed to Peter Müller, aimed at a general reading public and the soldiers the title's verses address. Its single picture shows a bearded old man in a long robe and cap gesturing toward a armoured soldier who holds a upright sword before a small village. The bold outlines, hatched shading and simple landscape give a designer a clear model for hand-cut woodblock line work and economical narrative staging.
