Zwey schöne Geistliche Lieder
A German devotional hymn sheet of 1692, probably printed in Europe for lay Lutheran worshippers, with verses set in black-letter type above a single woodcut. The woodcut shows a footed urn overflowing with stylised flowers and leaves, a clean, symmetrical motif a designer could adapt for botanical borders, vintage labels or repeat patterns; the printed text block and the dark ornamental centrepiece give a strong contrast of type and image.
