The Oeuvres complètes du roi René, printed at Angers in 1843 by Cosnier et Lachèse, reproduces the works of King René I of Naples and Jerusalem from medieval manuscripts held in the Bibliothèque nationale. The line drawings are rotated sideways on the page, showing crowded processions, jousts and mourning scenes in armour and robes, with dense figure groupings a designer could adapt for medieval-themed compositions.
