Zwey schöne newe Lieder

Muheim, Hieronymus, Alder, Joseph · 1620 · [Abraham Weerli] · 1 picture

A 1620 German printed songbook of two broadside-style hymns, with a title page of black-letter type set in several sizes. It was issued by Abraham Weerli, with the authors listed as Hieronymus Muheim and Joseph Alder, for a German-reading audience. The title page is dense, dark text blocks framed by small woodcut scenes of armed men at the sides, offering a designer a model for hierarchical type layout and early-modern print ornament.
