Ein lied von den Juden vnd einem Kind. Jm thon, Es geht sich gegen der sommer zeit. Oder, Jch weyß nit was der gilgen brist. Oder, Es gadt ein frischer sommer daher. Mit sampt einem gar kurtzen Vßzug von ettlichen jren übelthätten
A 1563 German broadside song sheet printed by Jacob Kündig on the Nüwen platz in Zürich, held by the ZB Zürich library, telling a ritual-murder-style story about Jews and a child for popular readers. Its single woodcut shows a bearded man in a long robe holding a knife over a draped table with a bowl and a stick, beside a small pale child with arms bound at the sides, in a plain interior with a striped wall and a stool-like base. A designer could take from it the compact, blocky woodcut language of sixteenth-century broadside illustration, with strong black outlines, hatched shading and a tight single-scene composition.
