1476 · by Rudolff Wyssenbach · 1 picture

A 16th-century German broadside song about the 1476 Battle of Grandson, printed in black letter with a woodcut of a walled town with towers and gate, attributed to Rudolf Wyssenbach and held by ZB Zürich. The woodcut shows a fortified castle-town with tall pointed roofs, a gateway, and a rough foreground of ground and stones, offering a designer a model of early print-era fortress architecture and bold black-letter display type over a framed image.
