Die vier wunderberlichen Eygenschafft vnd Würckung des Weins : ein kürtzweylicher Sprüch : mehr ein newer Spruch von der Jnsel Bachi vnd jrer Eygenschafft
A 1553 German verse satire by Hans Sachs, printed in Nuremberg by Georg Merckel, on the four wonderful effects of wine and the island of Bacchus, aimed at a general reading public. The single woodcut stacks three scenes of drinkers: soldiers and a tavern brawl at top, a banquet at a round table in the middle, and a crowded tavern with figures sprawled on the floor below. A designer could take from it the dense, crosshatched black-line woodcut style and the compact, narrative panel layout used for comic moral scenes.
