Drey schöne newe Lieder
A 1626 German songbook of three new songs by Philipp Nicolai, printed without an identified publisher and held by the UB Bern library. Its two pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a grotesque mask within scrolling cartouche strapwork, and a heart-shaped panel of interlaced scrolls and leaf-like flourishes. A designer could draw on these dense, symmetrical baroque woodcut decorations for borders, monograms, or title-page framing.
