Ein schön Lied von den Schlachten zu Büttissholtz, Ynss unnd Frauwenbrunuen : von den Eydgnossen wider die Engellender erhalten in den Wienacht Feyrtagen An. 1375

1601 · [bey Rodolff Wyssenbach] · 2 pictures

A Swiss broadside ballad printed in 1601 in German, probably at Zurich, celebrating the Swiss Confederates' victories over English forces at Buttisholz, Ins and Frauenbrunnen in 1375, sold to a popular readership. The pictures are small woodcuts: a plumed soldier with a halberd standing on a hill, and an interlace ornamental border, both printed in black on tan paper, offering a designer models of early modern cut-line figures and knotwork bands.
