Gletting, Benedict · 1551 · By Mathia Apiario · 1 picture

A 1551 German song sheet printed by Mathias Apiarius, in Zurich by the Zentralbibliothek's record, honouring the lords of Hassle with a tune to be sung to a known melody. The single picture is a woodcut of a heraldic eagle, its wings spread and head turned, set within a frame of scrolling acanthus leaves, a dense black-and-white emblem a designer could adapt for a crest, border, or stamp.
