1617 · Getruckt bey Johann Schröter · 1 picture

A 1617 German printed ballad sheet about the origins of the Swiss Confederation and William Tell, printed by Johann Schröter, with a woodcut title illustration. The woodcut shows an archer in a tall hat shooting a crossbow at a target while another figure stands nearby, set in a bordered frame beneath a blackletter title, a plain layout a designer could take for its strong tonal contrast and compact text-image hierarchy.
