1550 · bey Jacob Frölich · 3 pictures

A 1550 German broadside ballad published by Jacob Frölich, held by the ZB Zürich, printed to be sung to a popular tune for ordinary readers. The three pictures are the woodcut title block of two figures seated at a table and two blotted ink or wash sketches of a figure with a hat, a bulky robe and a clawed foot, probably a devil or demon, that a designer could use for its crude, expressive line and dark silhouette.
