Ein Schön New Lied. Von Art vnnd Eigenschafft der Gesellen der löblichen Kunst der Bu[o]chtruckerey ...
A 1560 German printed song sheet titled Ein Schön New Lied, about the character and habits of journeymen printers, written by Jörg Busch and likely issued by Christian Müller the Elder for printing-trade readers and craftsmen. Its single picture is a woodcut coat of arms with a helmet, crest, and two flanking supporters above a block of verse text, with a library stamp at the left edge. A designer could take the heraldic symmetry, the dense black-and-white woodcut carving, and the compact stacked verse layout as a model for early modern printed ephemera.
