Der Einsiedel
Der Einsiedel is a German printed poem sheet from 1848, designed by Moritz von Schwind and published in Munich for a general readership of poetry and decorative print collectors. Its page is framed by Gothic-arched panels showing a hermit, a praying figure and a child beside a chapel, with the verse set in the centre. A designer could take its symmetrical arched framing and the dense, leafy border ornament as a model for decorative text layouts.
