Les Songes drolatiques de Pantagruel is a 1565 Paris book of grotesque woodcut figures attributed to François Desprez and linked to Rabelais, published for readers seeking amusement. Its pictures show strange, bulbous-bodied figures in cloaks, hats and odd headgear, drawn in crisp black line with hatching, offering a designer ready material for monstrous characters, costume silhouettes and decorative grotesques.
