Bade, Josse · 1500 · Paris : Thielmann Kerver pour Enguilbert [Jean et Geoffroy] de Marnef · 1 picture

A Latin satirical woodcut book printed in Paris in 1500 by Thielmann Kerver for the Marnef brothers, edited by Josse Bade, and shows a crowded boat of fools in the manner of Brant's Ship of Fools. The woodcut shows figures in pointed fool caps in a boat, some reaching toward plants or ferns in the water, with a line of rippling waves; a designer might take the crowded, angular figures and the hatched linework as a model for dense, witty figurative compositions.
