Le tableau des riches inventions couvertes du voile des feintes amoureuses, qui sont représentées dans le Songe de Poliphile

Béroalde de Verville, François · 1600 · chez Matthieu Guillemot · 137 pictures

This is a 1600 French illustrated edition published in Paris by Matthieu Guillemot, a condensed guide by François Béroalde de Verville to the woodcut pictures of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili dream romance. Its engravings show processions, classical architecture, garden settings and mythological scenes, and the pictures are small black-line woodcuts on pale paper. A designer could borrow their dense crowded compositions, ornamental pedestals and framed roundel borders for period-style layouts.
