Le premier volume contenant Quarante tableaux ou histoires diverses qui sont mémorables touchant les guerres, massacres, & troubles advenues en France en ces dernières années
A sixteenth-century French compilation of forty engraved views of religious wars, published in Paris in 1575 and held by the Newberry Library, aimed at readers wanting a record of the recent civil conflicts. The plates are dense woodcut-style battle scenes with crowded armies, fortified towns, camps with tents, and lettered key captions below, offering a designer models for busy multi-figure compositions, cross-hatched tonal shading, and panoramic perspective.
