Lötscher, Hans · 1664 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 2 pictures

A 1664 German devotional broadside song sheet by Hans Lötscher, published by Georg Sonnleitner and held by UB Bern, written as a spiritual warning against prevailing sins. The first picture is a dense woodcut bouquet of flowers in a vase with a decorative flourish, and the second shows a bearded seated man with a group of onlookers in a palm-shaded landscape. For a designer, the bold black-and-white woodcut line, the stylised floral ornament and the crowded figure grouping offer strong models for period borders, headpieces and rustic narrative vignettes.
