Ein Hüpsch Alt Lied/ von dem herten Streit/ beschehen vor Loupen/ nach wahrem Inhalt der Chronick/ [et]c : In der weiß/ Wie deß Ecken Außfahrt

1620 · [Johann Schröter] · 1 picture

A 1620 German printed broadside song sheet, published by Johann Schröter and held by the University Library Bern, telling of a hard battle fought before Leipzig-area Lobau in the manner of a ballad. The single woodcut shows two armoured figures with lances and plumed helmets flanking a shield decorated with foliage and a central emblem, a design a designer could borrow for heraldic framing, border ornament, or medieval knight motifs.
