Garn-Grämpler : Das ist Ein schön New Traur- oder Klag-Lied/ wie sich alle arme Bernische Garngrämpler vnd Underthanen klagen vber den mächtigen Auffzug vnd erlitnen Schaden zu Vilmergen in dem Freyen Ampt/ geschehen im Anfang deß 1656. Jahr
A 1656 German broadside-style song sheet by Oswald Tölpel, printed in the Bern region and addressed to Bernese yarn peddlers and subjects who lament a military uprising and the losses it caused at Vilmergen. The only picture is a small woodcut ornament: a dense, symmetrical tangle of scrolls, curls and foliage tapering to a pointed tip, with its hatched, cut-line texture giving a sturdy printed-page flourish suited to decorative dividers or headpiece borrowings.
