Ein hüpsch nüw Lied vnd waare gschicht/ Wie fry der Bär den krieg hatt gricht ...
A 1556 German printed song and tale, the Ein hüpsch nüw Lied about the bear's war, written by Niklaus Schorr and published by Samuel Apiario, a popular broadsheet-style booklet meant for ordinary readers to sing and read. The two pictures are small woodcuts: a horizontal ornamental border of foliage and a vase, and a lively scene of two animals fighting with a bear in a combative pose, drawn with dense, hatched lines that a designer could borrow for bold, textured animal illustration.
