Müller, Peter · 1600 · by Rudolff Wyssenbach · 1 picture

A German broadside song sheet printed in 1600 by Rudolff Wyssenbach, attributed to Peter Müller, with a woodcut title and a single scene for a song about an old, grizzled man. The pictures show two figures in a close, plain composition: a bearded old man seated and gesturing, beside a standing figure in a long gown and a wide-brimmed hat, and a designer could take from it the blunt, legible economy of early woodcut figure drawing and the heavy black-letter title block.
