Moritz · 1552 · 2 pictures

A 1552 German song sheet by Duke Moritz, Elector of Saxony, composed before he rode out of his land, printed in black letter and held by the Zürich city library. The first picture is a dark oval library seal reading Stadt-Bibliothek Zürich with a crowned shield, while the second shows a title page set in heavy blackletter type above a woodcut coat of arms with crossed swords and crowned quartered shields, a useful model for old-style typography and heraldic ornament.
