Fünf weltliche Schöne neue Lieder : Das Erste: Zween Studenten auf der Gasse, etc. ...

Simler, Johann Wilhelm · [ohne Drucker] · 1 picture

A small German songbook of five secular songs, attributed to Johann Wilhelm Simler and printed without a named printer, probably in the eighteenth century, with a title page for popular song sheets. The single picture is a crude woodcut of a lion-like beast standing in a rectangular frame beneath the title text, with a printed caption at the foot. A designer might take from it the blocky, hand-cut animal silhouette and the plain black-on-cream typographic hierarchy of early German broadside pages.
