1548 · [Matthias Apiarius] · 1 picture

A 1548 German broadside ballad printed by Matthias Apiarius, likely in Switzerland, reporting the Spanish sack of Constance on 6 August 1548 and meant to be sung to a known tune. Its single woodcut shows an armoured figure with a pike beside a stone column in the foreground, and in the background a walled town with a tower and smoke or fire over distant fields, with small soldiers in combat.
