Printed at Paris in 1582 by Adrian le Roy, Robert Ballard and Mamert Patisson, this court ballet book by Baltasar de Beaujoyeulx and Lambert de Beaulieu records the 1581 wedding entertainment of the Duc de Joyeuse and Marguerite de Vaudemont for the court of Henry III. The pictures are crisp woodcut and engraved plates of allegorical figures, a sea-creature medallion, and a chariot decorated with dense scrollwork, offering designers strong models for ornamental borders, mythic costume, and framed emblem roundels.
