Zwey schöne Lieder
A German songbook titled Zwey schöne Lieder, published around 1711, probably by Niklaus Emanuel Haller and held by UB Bern. The single picture is a woodcut tailpiece or headpiece of a flower-filled urn with a carved mask, flanked by two insects. A designer could take from it the dense, decorative floral woodcut vocabulary of early eighteenth-century German print ornament, suited to vignettes, dividers, and vintage botanical motifs.
