Ein Neu Klag- und Traurlied. Von Der schweren und langwirrigen Verfolgung und grossen Trangsal unser lieben Glaubensgenossen und Religionsverwandten in Franckreich, in Ungarn und in Littau, etc

1683 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A 1683 German broadside-style lament printed in Danzig for Protestant co-religionists persecuted in France, Hungary and Lithuania, with a single woodcut panel of a bearded man in a hat helping a figure across a river beside a boat. The woodcut is a plain, high-contrast black-and-white block print, and a designer might take its bold outline carving and the stark pairing of a central figure with a small tilted boat and water as a model for simple narrative cuts.
