Zwey schöne Geistliche Lieder
A small German hymn sheet of 1700, Zwey schöne Geistliche Lieder, by Benedict Gletting and Johann Rist, printed by Jacob Anthoni Vulpi, for devotional use. The single picture is a crude woodcut vignette of a flowering plant in a basket, with bold dark outlines, stylised tulip-like blooms and a cross-hatched wicker container on blotchy tan paper; a designer might borrow its naive botanical motif, simple line economy and folk-print charm for rustic or heritage pattern work.
