Lieder für die Weihnachts-Feier der Akademischen Schweizergesellschaft : Berlin, am 22. Dezember 1870

1870 · Druck von G. Bernstein · 1 picture

A German songbook of Christmas songs printed in Berlin in 1870 by the printer G. Bernstein for the Academic Swiss Society, a student fraternity. Its one picture is a black-and-white woodcut-style ornament: a lyre framed by curling acanthus leaves, scrolls and ribbon ends, a decorative device of the kind used on title pages. A designer might borrow its symmetrical frame structure and the lyre-and-foliage motif for music-related or period ornamental work.
