A German folk ballad, illustrated with six woodcuts by Karl Barth depicting the exploits of the Landsknechts, sixteenth-century Germanic mercenary soldiers.

They became a powerful fighting force and a part of popular Renaissance folklore. With an illustrated title page printed in black and sepia. Published by the School.... more information
