Ein schön new Lied/ Von der Eytelkeit/ dieser stoltzen Welt
A 1623 German broadside song sheet printed in Blackletter type, titled 'Ein schön new Lied: Von der Eytelkeit dieser stoltzen Welt' and issued by the publisher Jakob Stuber for popular readers, as the catalogue record indicates. Its single woodcut shows a crowned, richly dressed figure standing with a staff and an orb, framed by a bold display title; a designer might take its dense black letterforms, tall display capitals and centred emblematic figure as models for vanitas-themed posters or period typography.
