Qvadrins historiqves d'Exode is a 1553 French illustrated Bible book printed in Lyon by Jean de Tournes, with woodcuts by Bernard Salomon and verse by Claude Paradin, made for a lay reading audience. Each page pairs a small framed woodcut scene from Exodus with a four-line French verse beneath it, and the pictures show crowds, tents, and figures in landscapes, with clean line hatching that a designer could use for compact narrative panels.
