A 1657 Paris proverb collection published by Jacques Lagniet, illustrated with etched plates of the Till Eulenspiegel trickster tales, aimed at French readers of folk literature. The engravings show crowded street and court scenes with small Dutch-style figures, dense caption text, and hatched shading a designer could borrow for satirical comic staging and tableau-style composition.
