Horapollo, Martin, Ian, d. ca. 1553, Cousin, Jean, ca. 1490-1560?, Goujon, Jean, 16th cent, Kerver, Jacques · 1543 · On les uend a Paris ... : Par Iacques Keruer · 195 pictures

Horapollo's Hieroglyphica, a 1543 Paris edition translated by Ian Martin with woodcuts attributed to Jean Cousin and Jean Goujon, explaining Egyptian hieroglyphs for French readers. The small square woodcuts show emblematic scenes of animals, plants and landscapes, each framed as a self-contained image; a designer might borrow their compact, hatched line work and the way a single symbolic motif sits in a plain setting.
