A 1558 Lyon illustrated Bible history with woodcut scenes from Genesis by Bernard Salomon, printed by Ivo Tornaesius for a Latin-reading audience. The four woodcuts show small framed narrative scenes with crowds, landscapes, and robed figures, useful to a designer for compact vignette composition and the dense hatched line work of Renaissance woodcut.
