1665 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 2 pictures

A 1665 German printed song sheet, published by Georg Sonnleitner and held by UB Bern, telling the origin of the old Swiss, set to a known hymn melody for singing. The two pictures are black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a central mask-like face framed by scrolling foliage and cartouche work, and a heart-shaped panel of interlaced scrollwork, both useful for designers seeking dense early-modern border and frame motifs.
