Drey schöne newe Geistliche Lieder

1621 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A German hymnal of 1621, printed by a publisher that cannot be identified, with the copy held by the University Library in Bern. Its only picture is a small woodcut ornament, a symmetrical cartouche of scrolls, volutes and figures framing an empty central panel. A designer could take from it the dense, balanced geometry of early seventeenth-century German title-page ornament, useful for frames, borders and vintage emblem work.
