1628 · bey Jacob Frey · 1 picture

A 1628 German broadsheet news pamphlet, printed by Jacob Frey, reporting a perjury and treason plot in Denmark and its punishment, aimed at a general German readership. Its single picture is a woodcut of a severed hand with a snake coiled around it and a stack of books beneath, framed by a checkerboard border; a designer might borrow its bold, high-contrast graphic emblem and tight framed composition.
