Zwey historische neue Lieder, von dem Ursprunge der Eidsgenossenschaft ...

Muheim, Hieronymus, Lavater, Johann Caspar · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A German-language historical ballad sheet by Hieronymus Muheim and Johann Caspar Lavater, publisher unidentified, held by the Zurich Zentralbibliothek, apparently issued for popular readers about Swiss Confederation origins. The one picture is a small black woodcut-style vignette of a serpent coiled among thorny branches and leaves above a tangle of roots, with a Zurich library stamp in the corner; a designer might take its dense, tangled line work and organic knotted composition as a simple decorative motif.
