Virgil · 1540 · Paris : I. Petit : On les vend ... par Jehan Andre · 51 pictures

A 1540 Paris edition of Virgil's works translated from Latin into French, printed by I. Petit and sold by Jehan Andre for a general readership of humanist and courtly readers. Its woodcut scenes sit within the text on the page, set in a walled town with ships and figures in armour, and drawn with dense hatching and strong black outlines that a designer could borrow for bold, high-contrast graphic illustration.
