Drey schöne/ Geistliche Lieder

1700 · [Jacob Anthoni Vulpi] · 1 picture

A German hymnal of 1700, printed for devotional singing and probably issued by a Nuremberg or regional printer, with the publisher given in brackets as Jacob Anthoni Vulpi. The single picture is a woodcut-style flower basket, so the book's decorative vignettes were made for a general religious readership. A designer could take from it the dense, symmetrical, folk-botanical manner of early modern German print, where a basket of tulips, pinks and fruit fills a small rectangle with no empty space.
