Zwey Schöne newe Lieder

1584 · [Samuel Apiarius?] · 1 picture

A 1584 German songbook of two new songs, probably printed by Samuel Apiarius and held by UB Bern, with its title set in black-letter type above a framed woodcut of a peasant farmer with a feathered cap and a woman in a headscarf. The woodcut's bold outlines, plain figure carving and simple ground lines suit designers wanting early modern printed folk imagery for historical or rustic themes.
