Mariette, Pierre, 1603-1657. CMalG · 1648 · [France : s.n.] · 39 pictures

A 1648 French devotional book by Pierre Mariette, issued without a named publisher, offering 168 prayer-accompanied engravings for meditating on the mysteries of the rosary and Christ and Mary. The four plates show seventeenth-century engraved scenes of haloed figures in architectural settings, with crisp parallel hatching, dense cross-hatched shadow on robes, and radiating sunburst halos a designer might borrow for sacred or period imagery.
