Toggenburger Kriegs- und Soldaten Lied. Uber Den diß 1712. Jahrs gehabten weitläufigen/ sogenannten Toggenburger-Krieg/ Jn der Eidgnoßschaft : Gar kurtzweilig zu lesen und zu singen
A 1712 German-language broadside song sheet, the Toggenburger Kriegs- und Soldatenlied, printed in Switzerland for readers and singers who wanted a lively account of the Toggenburg war of that year. Its one picture is a small woodcut vignette of a basket overflowing with grapes, leaves, and fruit, with a flower at lower right, a decorative tailpiece rather than a scene from the war. A designer might take from it the bold, rough cut of black line against white, suited to botanical or harvest motifs and folk-print borders.
