Wirri, Ulrich · 1616 · bey Johann Schröter · 1 picture

A 1616 Swiss broadside ballad printed at Basel by Johann Schröter, written by Ulrich Wirri to honour the Confederates and the town of Solothurn after the Battle of Dornach. Its single page is a title sheet of dense black-letter German type topped by a woodcut of an armoured soldier holding a halberd, set within a small framed shield-shaped emblem; a designer could borrow its blackletter headline hierarchy and the compact boxed woodcut as a model for a historical broadside layout.
