1643 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 2 pictures

A 1643 German printed songbook, the Bawrs-Leuthen Lobgsang, published by Georg Sonnleitner and held by UB Bern, praising farmers and their labour and dedicated to honest country workers. Its two pictures are a title page set in heavy blackletter with a woodcut of a horse-drawn cart and figures beneath, and a closing page with an ornate scrolled woodcut device of foliage and a central motif. A designer could take the bold centred blackletter hierarchy and the dense, symmetrical scroll ornament as models for period-styled type layouts.
