A.W · 1658 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 1 picture

A 1658 German song-poem by A.W., printed by Georg Sonnleitner and held by the UB Bern, celebrating a newly built warm spa and bath at Wyssenburg in the Lower Simmental of the Bernese territory, written to the tune of a sacred mountain-round. The single picture is a downward-tapering block of symmetrical woven ornament in black on pale paper, built from repeated strapwork, rosettes and scrolled terminals arranged in four stacked rows, a useful model for borders, panel patterns and repeat design.
