Zwey schöne newe geistliche Lieder
A 1666 German devotional songbook, the Zwey schöne newe geistliche Lieder, published by Georg Sonnleitner and held by UB Bern. Its two pictures are small printed ornaments, not scenes: a triangular pendant of scrolls and dots and a diamond-shaped rosette of interlaced curls, both in dark ink on pale paper. A designer could take from them the compact symmetrical scroll-and-dot vocabulary of 17th-century German print ornament for borders, dividers or pattern work.
