Ein hüpsch Lied von den alten Eydgnossen. Jn der wyß, Es gadt ein frischer Summer dahär
A 1557 Swiss printed song sheet by Pamphilus Gengenbach, published by Samuel Apiario, with a framed woodcut above the black-letter German text. The woodcut shows two armoured halberdiers, one with a plumed hat and one with a feathered cap, standing on a shield-like panel decorated with leafy vine ornament and a central heraldic beast. A designer might take the bold, dense black-and-white line work, the framed title-page layout, and the decorative shield ornament as models for historical graphic design.
