Messire Frãcois Petracque Des remedes de lune et lautre fortune, prospere et aduerse

Petrarca, Francesco, 1304-1374 · 1534 · Nouuellemẽt imprime a Paris : Denis Ianot · 6 pictures

A 1534 Paris printing by Denis Janot of Petrarch's Remedies for Fortune Fair and Foul, a moral treatise on conduct of life, printed in French for a general reading audience. The woodcuts are small black-and-white line blocks with bold outlines and hatched shading, showing rulers in conversation, a horseman on a hill, and a scholar at a desk, useful to designers seeking dense, narrative Renaissance book illustration with framed vignettes.
