Ein hüpsch alt Lied von dem grusammen unnd mordtlichen Uberfal, so die Spanier an der christlichen Statt Costantz jn disem 1548. Jar begangen hand : singt man inn der Wyss, wie das Lied von Thol, oder Gennoweren, &c
A 1548 Zurich broadside ballad printed by Rudolff Wyssenbach, describing a Spanish massacre at Constance and meant to be sung to a known tune. The pictures are a dense baroque ornamental monogram-like cartouche and a small woodcut of a mounted rider with a lance, framed in a plain border beneath black-letter text; a designer might take the compact woodcut rider as a model for bold, simple black-line figure work.
