Drey schöne Geistliche Lieder
A small German devotional songbook of 1740, printed by an unidentified publisher and held by the University Library of Bern, probably meant for church or household singing. Its two woodcut tailpieces show a skull with the motto Memento mori among wheat ears, flowers and a bone, and a basket of fruit and birds on a pedestal, both in a coarse, dense black-line style that suits vintage ornament, memento mori motifs, and simple border devices on a worn paper ground.
