Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament : enrichie de plus de quatre cens figures en taille-douce, &c
A late seventeenth-century French-language illustrated Bible history published in Amsterdam in 1700 by Pierre Mortier, with David Martin's text and more than four hundred copperplate engravings for a general reading public. The pictures are paired framed scenes on a shared plate, with dense crowds, columned Roman-style architecture, and dramatic gestures, offering a designer a model for ordered multi-panel compositions and classical staging of groups.
