Ein schönes neues geistliches Lied Von der erschröcklichen Finsternuß/ So geschehen ist den 12. May Anno 1706 : In einer bekannten Melodey
A German devotional broadside song from 1706 about an eerie darkness event of 12 May, printed without a named printer and sung to a familiar tune. Its two woodcut ornaments, a symmetrical scrolled cartouche and a basket of flowers with a lattice weave, show the decorative vocabulary of early eighteenth-century German print and offer designers simple, bold motifs for borders and headers.
