Das aus dem Schutt und Steinhaufen der sündhaften Welt wehmüthig zuruffende Lisabon, welches den 1. Wintermonat 1755. durch ein entsetzliches Erdbeben erstaunend und erbärmlich zugerichtet ... : In nachfolgendem Klag- Buß- und Warnungs Lied ... vorgestellt wird
A German broadside-style lament printed in 1755, without a named printer, held by the Zürich Zentralbibliothek, that voices the Lisbon earthquake of 1 November 1755 as a warning about sinful worldliness for a pious readership. Its single picture is a woodcut of a flower-filled basket with a stamp of the Stadtbibliothek Zürich below, so the image is a decorative ornament rather than a scene. A designer might take from it the rough, inked texture of a woodcut vignette and the symmetrical bouquet-in-basket motif for pattern or border work.
