1680 · [Samuel Kneubühler] · 1 picture

A German broadside song of 1680, printed in Switzerland, telling the origins of the old Swiss people from old chronicles and set to a known hymn melody for singing. Its one picture is a woodcut of two armed figures in plumed hats and period dress standing beside the title text, a useful reference for seventeenth-century German costume and the stiff, frontal stance of early print figures.
