Les trauaux d'Vlysse is a 1640 Paris book of etched plates by the Flemish printmaker Theodoor van Thulden, illustrating Odysseus's adventures from Homer's Odyssey for French readers. The plates show crowded battle scenes, chariots, and seated and reclining figures in classical settings, with clear hatched shading and strong contrast a designer could borrow for dramatic composition, mythological narrative, or antique-style line work.
