Ein schönes neues lustiges Weltliches Lied/ genannt der Küh-Reihen : In einer angenehmen und lustigen Melodey zu singen, zu Ergötzung des Weidmanns und der jungen Gesellen
A secular German broadside song sheet, the Küh-Reihen, meant to be sung to a cheerful tune for herdsmen and young journeymen; its publisher is unidentified and the copy is held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek. The single picture is a crude woodcut of a horned cow lying down with its tail curled, its outlines hatched in dark ink and printed on rough paper, with a Zurich postal-style stamp in the corner that is a library mark rather than part of the design. A designer might take its blunt, rustic line and the bold silhouette of the resting animal as a model for folk-style rural imagery.
