Corrozet, Gilles, 1510-1568, Le Bon, Jean, -1583, Champier, Claude, Champier, Symphorien, 1472?-approximately 1535 · 1575 · A Lyon : Par Benoist Rigavd · 30 pictures

A 1575 Lyon catalogue of cities and towns in the three Gauls, written by Gilles Corrozet with Jean Le Bon and the Champier brothers, and printed by Benoist Rigaud for French readers interested in urban history and sacred and natural wonders. Its woodcuts show walled towns with gabled roofs, round towers, and arched gates, plus scenes of builders at work on a classical gateway; a designer could take from them the compact, layered townscape and the simple outline style of sixteenth-century printed architecture.
