Ein hüpsch alt Lied von dem herten Streyt geschehen vor Louppen : nach wahrem Innhalt der Chronick 1339

1601 · bey Rudolph Wyssenbach · 2 pictures

A 1601 Zurich printed song-book, a broadside-style ballad about the battle of Laupen, printed by Rudolf Wyssenbach for a general reading public. The first picture is a woodcut of an armed foot soldier with a long sword and plumed hat set in a bordered panel beneath the title, and the second is an ornate woodcut printer's ornament with a grotesque mask framed by scrolls, useful to a designer for early German title-page typography and decorative framing devices.
