A 1629 German printed consolation song about the plague, published by Jakob Stuber and held by the UB Bern, written to be sung to the tune of Psalm 38 and framed as King David's own comfort during his illness. The two pictures are small black ornamental woodcut-style printer's ornaments, a scrolled pendant-shaped motif and a symmetrical rosette of curls, printed on aged paper, offering a designer ready-made baroque filigree and symmetrical scrollwork to adapt for borders, dividers or emblem-style marks.
