Dry hüpsche nüwe Lieder
A 1556 songbook of German secular songs, likely printed by Samuel Apiarius in Bern for singers and households. The first picture is a woodcut title page with black-letter type and a central scene of a seated man with a monkey, a vignette suited to designers studying early printed ornament and framed text layout. The second is a flourished pen ornament, useful for calligraphic swashes and decorative dividers.
