Ausserordentliches Phönomenon und schrekliches Wunderzeichen, so sich zu Constantinopel in der Türkey in den kurz verflossenen Jahre, und zu jedermans grösten Entsezen zugetragen : Aus dem Türkischen ins Deutsche übersezt

1771 · bey Christian Thomson · 1 picture

A German chapbook of 1771, published by Christian Thomson and held by the UB Bern library, translated from Turkish and reporting a strange portent said to have occurred in Constantinople. Its single picture is a small printed ornament, a wreath-like frame of curling acanthus-style scrolls and rounded cartouche shapes, which a designer could adapt as a border or corner piece for historic typography.
