Aesopi Phrygis Fabvlae : elegantissimis eiconibus ueras animalium species ad uiuum adumbrantes. Gabriae Graeci Fabellae XXXXIIII. Batrachomyomáchia Homeri, hoc est, Ranarum & murium pugna. Galeōmyomachía, hoc est, Felium & murium pugna, tragoedia graeca : haec omnia cum Latina interpretatione
A 1551 Lyon edition of Greek fables by Babrius, Aesop and others, with Latin translation, printed by Jean de Tournes and illustrated by Bernard Salomon. Its woodcuts are small narrative scenes of armoured soldiers, a donkey and horse, and figures on a road with distant hills and towers, drawn with clear outlines and simple hatching. A designer might borrow their compact storytelling layouts, crisp line work, and period costume for editorial or period-themed pieces.
