Ein schönes Lied/ Vom Ursprung und Harkommen der Alten Schweitzern/ Insonderheit deß Lands Haßle in Weyßland : Auß alten Chronicken gezogen : O milter Gott in deinem Reich/ [et]c. : In der Melodey: Kommt her zu mir/ spricht Gottes Sohn/ [et]c

1703 · [Jacob Anthoni Vulpi] · 2 pictures

A German-language broadside hymn song printed in 1703, probably in Bern or a nearby Swiss press, telling the origins of the old Swiss people from ancient chronicles and set to a named hymn melody for singing. Its first picture is a title block with two armed figures in period dress flanking the text, and its second is a woodcut of a footed urn overflowing with flowers and leaves, useful for designers seeking dense, bold botanical ornament with strong black-and-white contrast.
