Ein schön Geistlich Lied/ Zu singen ha[b] ich im Sinn/ zu singen/ [etc.] : Das ist/ Wie ein jeder seyn Gewissrn/ auch Stand vnd Ampt bedencken soll

1631 · [ohne Drucker] · 1 picture

A German devotional broadside song sheet printed in 1631 with no named printer, held by the ZB Zürich library, meant for lay readers to reflect on their conscience, station, and office. The single woodcut at the foot shows a bearded robed figure in a doorway facing a younger man in a wide-brimmed hat holding a staff, a plain, direct composition with strong black outlines that suits designers looking for early modern cut-line character.
