Esopi appologi siue mythologi cum quibusdam carminum et fabularum additionibus
This is a 1501 Basel printing of Aesop's fables, edited by Sebastian Brant with additions from Romulus, Avianus and Rinuccio d'Arezzo, printed by Jacob von Pforzheim for a learned Latin readership. Its hand-coloured woodcuts show animals and small scenes of moral narrative in simple outline with flat washes of green, blue and ochre, a model for direct, legible storytelling in illustration.
