Ein hüpsch new Lied : von Daniel vnd dem König zu Babel, wider den Abgott Beel, auch seiner Priesterschafft diebstal, etc
A 1610 German broadside song printed in Basel by Johann Schrötter, a popular ballad for ordinary readers, telling the story of Daniel and the king of Babylon. The two pictures are crude woodcuts: an ornamental oval cartouche of interlaced foliage that could serve as a border or frame, and a scene of Daniel seated among lions in a rocky den with a bowl above. Their bold black line and plain tonal hatching suggest simple, sturdy vignettes a designer could adapt for historical or folk-style graphics.
