Fünff schöne neue Weltliche Lieder : Jedes in seiner eigenen Melodey
A small German songbook of five secular songs, each set to its own melody, printed in 1738 and attributed to the publisher Anna Maria von Mechel. The single picture is a woodcut-style tailpiece or ornament of a stylised floral bouquet with roses, tulips and leaves arranged in a symmetrical triangular spray. A designer could take from it the compact, mirrored botanical motif suited to dividing lines, endpapers or vignettes in historical print work.
