Vier schöne Geistliche Lieder : Jedes in seiner anmüthigen Melodey zu singen
This is a set of four sacred songs, each to be sung to its own melody, by Johann Rosenmüller and Georg Neumark, printed around 1700, probably in Germany, and likely for devotional singing. The two pictures are small woodcut ornaments: one shows a heavy urn or basket with fruit and crossed palm-like fronds, the other a triangular bouquet of flowers with ribbon-tied stems. Designers could draw on their symmetrical, tapering arrangements for vignettes, dividers, or corner ornaments in period-style layouts.
