Portraitz des Papes depuis S. Pierre Apostre iusques a present, tirez des antiques, auec le temps que chacun d'eulx a tenu le siege
A 1605 Paris portrait series by Onofrio Panvinio, Léonard Gaultier, Jean Leclerc and Gabriel Michel de La Rochemaillet, printed as a sequence of small engraved busts of popes, kings and rulers, each labelled with a name and reign dates in French. The pages are grids of square framed heads in profile and three-quarter view, with headgear, beards and armour defining each figure, offering a designer a compact reference for varied historical character types and consistent caption-under-portrait layouts.
