Les Metamorphoses d'Ovide : mises en vers françois
A 1697 Paris edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses in French verse by Thomas Corneille, printed by Michel Brunet with engravings after Franz Ertinger for a French reading public interested in classical mythology. The small framed copper-plate scenes, each with a running head naming the book of Ovid, show gods, transformations and courtly interiors in fine line engraving, offering a designer clear models for compact framed vignettes and classical narrative staging.
