L' Eloge De La Folie
A 1728 French edition of Erasmus's satire The Praise of Folly, translated by Nicolas Gueudeville with illustrations after Hans Holbein, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are small black-and-white engravings of single figures and paired scholars and fools, with running French text beneath, offering a designer compact figure studies of period costume, gesture and expression.
