A German broadside ballad printed in 1585, issued by the Zurich publisher Josias Wörli for a popular readership, reporting a supposed Persian victory over the Turks in a three-day battle. The single woodcut shows a bearded man in a turban with spiked crown, framed in a plain border, a typical news-sheet image of the period that a designer might take as an example of early modern woodcut portraiture and bold hatching for a historical or Ottoman-themed project.
