Ein schön newes Lied, von der frommen vnd Gottsfürchtigen Frawen Susanna. Jm Thon: Es wohnet Lieb bey Liebe, darzu groß Hertzenlaidt, etc

Schürenbrandt, Hans · 1590 · durch Valentin Schönigk, auff unser Frawen Thor · 2 pictures

A 1590 German broadside ballad printed by Valentin Schönigk at the Frauenthor in Augsburg, setting a moral tale of the chaste Susanna in verse for popular singing to a known tune. Its woodcut title block shows a dense ornamental scrollwork border, and the single picture is a small woodcut of Susanna bathing in a pool while two elders watch from behind a tree and a building, a compact narrative scene a designer could adapt for storytelling or panel composition.
