1669 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A 1669 German broadside-style pamphlet, publisher unidentified, held by UB Bern, reporting a landslide that struck the well-known city of Salzburg and was written for a German-reading public. The single woodcut shows a walled town with towers, a church spire and rows of onlookers at the wall, rendered in rough hatched lines on a tan ground; a designer could take its crowded, schematic townscape as a model for compact narrative reportage imagery.
