Drey schöne Schweitzerische Lieder

Muheim, Hieronymus · 1740 · [Anna Maria von Mechel] · 1 picture

A small 1740 songbook of three Swiss songs, published by Anna Maria von Mechel and credited to Hieronymus Muheim, held by the University Library of Bern. Its one picture is a crude woodcut vignette: two men in hats, one drawing a crossbow toward a distant target while a woman in a long skirt stands at right beside a tree. The rough, hatched line work and blocky figures suggest a folk-print vocabulary a designer could borrow for rustic, hand-cut graphics.
