Bärenholds Lustige Feld-Lieder/ Von der Seisser-Action/ und Villmerger-Schlacht

Kuhn, Johann Joseph · 1712 · [Johann Konrad von Mechel I] · 1 picture

A 1712 German-language songbook of soldiers' field songs, Bärenholds Lustige Feld-Lieder, compiled by Johann Joseph Kuhn and published by Johann Konrad von Mechel I, now held by the ZB Zürich; it is a broadside-style print with a heading block above the picture. The woodcut shows pikemen and halberdiers locked in close combat amid fallen bodies, with the battle's name set above in blackletter, offering a designer dense, angular crowd composition and bold black-and-white line contrast.
