A 1627 tournament record printed at Nancy by Sebastien Philippe, printer to the Duke of Lorraine, describing the pageant of a barrier combat held at the Lorraine court for courtiers and spectators. The pictures are small etched processional scenes of decorated chariots, mounted attendants, a winged creature bearing armed riders, and a dragon-like beast, showing how a designer could build crowded parade compositions from sky, cloud and ground bands.
