1581 · [Samuel Apiarius] · 1 picture

A German song sheet printed in 1581, likely by Samuel Apiarius, a Bern-area printer, with its song title set in black-letter type and a woodcut vignette above or beside the text for a popular audience. The woodcut shows a seated figure in a flowering garden with a fountain-like basin and a sun-faced star in the upper right, and a designer might take its dense, hatched black-and-white line work and its crowded, tree-framed composition as a model for early modern print decoration.
