Ein schön neu Lied: Von frommen und getreuen/ auch einander sehr liebhabenden Eheleuten/ Und von ihrem hie zeitlichen Hin- und Abscheid : In der Melodey: Frölich so will ich singen/ wan ichs köndt heben an
A German broadside song from 1704, printed by Jacob Anthoni Vulpi, offering a sung ballad about a devoted married couple and their death, to be sung to a known melody for ordinary readers. The pictures are small woodcut-style ornaments and figures: a leafy floral tailpiece with a central bud and a row of five costumed figures in period dress, with a bearded man on the left and women in headdresses. A designer might take from them the economy of black-line woodcut ornament and the bold, simple outlines of early modern dress.
