A sixteenth-century German hymnal of spiritual songs by Georg Grünwald, printed in 1580 by Vincentz im Hof and held by the Zürich city library. The title page is set in blackletter type and framed by a woodcut of the Virgin and Child above a small scene of figures at the foot, with a later oval library stamp reading Stadt-Bibliothek Zürich. A designer could take from it the dense blackletter hierarchy of title lines and the compact woodcut vignette used as a focal point on an early printed page.
