This title page of *Ein new getruckt model Büchli* (1529) by Johann Schönsperger the Younger showcases the unique and decorative lettering of the early printing press. The title is written in a bold black script called Fraktur, which was popular in Germany during the 16th century. The image is dominated by the title in bold, dark ink, and a decorative flourish to the right of the text. The piece is a fine example of the art of calligraphy and typographic design from the early printing era.
