Fünf weltliche Schöne neue Lieder : Das erste: Rangstreit der Kaufmannsdiener, Apotheckergesellen, Markier und Kellerer

[ohne Drucker] · 1 picture

A small German songbook of secular songs, the first being a debate over rank among merchants' clerks, apothecary journeymen, and tavern and cellar workers, printed without a named printer and held by the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. Its single picture is a rough woodcut of a rooster with a feathered tail on a ground line, bordered in a plain rectangle on tinted paper. A designer could take from it the bold, economical line of early woodcut, with hatching used for plumage and a naive, sturdy character suited to folk-style graphics.
