[Vier weltliche Lieder]

1580 · B.U. [Benedikt Ulman] · 3 pictures

A 1580 German printed book, published by Benedikt Ulman, held by the University Library Bern, apparently a collection of secular songs. The three pictures are small woodcut and flourish-style ornaments, including a loose ornamental scrollwork border and a shaggy heraldic-looking cat chasing a ball, drawn in simple black line on paper. A designer could take from them the looping calligraphic flourish forms and the crude, lively woodcut line of sixteenth-century German print.
