L'Assault bataille et conqueste sur les Genevoys faicte par le Roy de france trescrestien Louis douziesme... Et la trahison que les genevois ont cuide faire. Et aussi la misericorde et appointement que le Roy nostre sire leur a fait.
A 1507 French printed pamphlet from the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève in Paris, recounting King Louis XII's assault on Geneva and the city's betrayal and pardon, written for a general reading public. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcuts of armoured horsemen and soldiers, one of which shows a fortified tower, and a designer might take from them the compressed, crowded battle compositions typical of early printed news.
