1591 · Bey Wolffgang Suchnach · 1 picture

A sixteenth-century German broadside song sheet printed in 1591 by Wolfgang Suchnach, offered as a comic ballad for reading and singing by ordinary readers. The single picture is a small woodcut vignette of a fool-like figure framed by curling foliate ornament, showing a designer how compact border ornament and grotesque figures worked together in early print.
