Bruder Clauß: Das ist: Vonn dem Leben/ Lehr/ Standt/ Handel vnd Wandel deß seligen Manns Brudr Clausen/ Einsidel vnnd Landmanns von Underwalden : Welcher Leichnamb zu Saxlen mit Wunderzeichen glorirt und leuchtet ; In ein Lied verfasset/ Im Thon/ wie man den Thellen singt
A 1640 Lucerne printed song-booklet by Johann Joachim Eichhorn, issued by David Hautt, celebrating the hermit Brother Klaus of Unterwalden, sung to the tune of a popular ballad. Its title page carries a single small woodcut portrait of the bearded hermit within a border, set beneath a dense block of black-letter type. A designer might borrow the stacked, heavy black-letter display hierarchy and the framed woodcut bust as a model for historical title-page typography.
