Ein schön neu Lied: Von frommen und getreuen/ auch einander sehr liebhabenden Eheleuten/ und von ihrem hie zeitlichen Hin- und Abscheid : In der Melodey: Frölich so will ich singen/ wan ichs köndt heben an
A German broadside song sheet printed in 1694, a devotional ballad about faithful married couples and their deaths, issued by Jacob Anthoni Vulpi for a general readership of Protestant households. The pictures are crude woodcuts: a dense ornamental border of flowers and leaves above a row of standing figures in period dress, a knight, a bearded man, and several women with headdresses. A designer could take from them the stiff, rhythmic linework of early modern print ornament and the costume silhouettes of the period.
