Ein Liedlein/ Wegen des Schweizerischen Einfahls in die Herrschafft Wädenschwyl/ so geschehen am Maria Magdlena Tag/ den 22. Heum. 1712

1712 · [ohne Drucker] · 1 picture

A German broadside song from 1712 about a Swiss incursion into the Wädenschwil lordship, printed without a named printer and held by the ZB Zürich library. The picture is a small woodcut ornament of dark ink on cream paper, a symmetrical tapering motif of scrolled foliage, dotted tendrils and a central lobed flourish, with a pendant bud at the base. A designer might take from it a compact, centred vine-and-scroll border piece suited to early modern print decoration.
