[Ein schön geistlich Lied] Vom Abraham wie er dem lieben Gott seinen Sohn auffopffert : In der Melodey: Es ist bald ein lange zeit/ das Gott die Welt hat erschaffen. Oder: Wie die zehen Jungfrawen

1628 · [Jakob Stuber] · 2 pictures

A German devotional broadside ballad printed around 1628, issued by Jakob Stuber, for lay readers who sang its hymn from a woodcut-illustrated sheet. The first picture shows an angel with raised arm confronting a bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat beside a building, a woodcut with heavy black hatching on a tan ground. The second is an ornamental cartouche of scrolls and fleurs, useful to designers wanting early-modern border or frame motifs with strong contrast.
