Gengenbach, Pamphilus · 1601 · bey Ru-Rudolph Wyssenbach · 2 pictures

A 1601 Zurich printed pamphlet by Pamphilus Gengenbach, published by Rudolph Wyssenbach, recounting the 1512 battle between the King of France and the Duke of Milan together with the Swiss Confederation, aimed at a German-reading public. Its woodcuts are small, crude black-and-white blocks: a soldier group in plumed hats with pikes on the title page, and on the next leaf a decorative cartouche with a scrolled mask and a running beast amid foliage, which a designer might take as a model for compact, rough-edged period ornament.
