Ein schön Geistlich Lied/ Vom Abraham/ wie er dem lieben Gott seinen Sohn auffgeopfferet : In der Melodey/ Es ist bald ein lange Zeit/ daß Gott die Welt hat erschaffen : Oder wie die Zehen Jungfrawen

1650 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 1 picture

A 1650 German devotional broadside-style song sheet, printed by Georg Sonnleitner, presumably for a lay Lutheran readership to sing. Its single woodcut shows two bearded figures at a small scale, one kneeling or bowing before the other, with a sparse border, and the picture suggests a designer could take a compact, narrative woodcut treatment of a sacrifice scene with stiff gestures and bold black outlines.
