Ein neues Lied über der Revolution Schreckliches und Liebliches
A late eighteenth-century German-language song sheet printed in 1799 by Johann Heinrich Waser in Zürich, a cheap printed piece of popular verse about the Revolution, probably sold to ordinary readers. The two pictures are small woodcut ornaments, a flower basket with swags and a cherub or putto in an oval framed by rays and foliage, which suggest how decorative printers of the period framed text with compact emblematic vignettes a designer could adapt for borders or headpieces.
