Plvtarchi Chaeronensis Svmmi et philosophi et historici parallela : id est, vitae illvstrivm vivorvm Graecorvm et Romanorum
Plutarch's Parallel Lives of Greek and Roman notables, printed in Frankfurt in 1580 by Sigismund Feyerabend with woodcuts by Jost Amman and Tobias Stimmer for a learned readership. The pictures are dense, crowded woodcut battle and procession scenes with many figures, pikes and tents, showing how to build a busy multi-figure composition with strong black-and-white line hatching.
