Schönes Geschicht-Lied von dem Marggrafen von Backenweil/ welcher im Krieg von den Türken gefangen, und nach überstandenem grossem Ungemach, wunderbahrer Weise aus der Sclaverey befreyt worden ist : Sehr angenehm und merkwürdig zu lesen
A German broadside ballad (Geschicht-Lied) printed without a named printer, held by the ZB Zürich, telling of a margrave taken captive by the Turks and freed by miraculous means; it was meant for popular reading and singing. The two small woodcuts are rough, bold, and crudely cut, with a man in a fur-trimmed robe holding a staff and a stylised clump of leafy plants over ground lines, showing how simple black line work on warm paper can suggest figures and landscape with economy.
