Zwo erschröckliche Newe Zeitungen
A 1663 German broadside-style pamphlet with the title Zwo erschröckliche Newe Zeitungen, printed by Christoff Lochner and held by the UB Bern library, aimed at readers of sensational news. The single picture is a dense woodcut ornament: a symmetrical, inverted-triangle cluster of scrolls, curling leaves, and fleur-like knots on a worn, tan paper ground. A designer could draw on its strong central symmetry and interlaced scrollwork as a model for tiled borders, heraldic-style panels, or vintage ornament.
