A 1558 Lyon edition of woodcut illustrations for Bible history from Exodus and the books that follow, with designs attributed to Bernard Salomon and text by Willem Borluut, printed by Ivo Tornaesius for a Latin-reading audience. The four pictures show crowded biblical scenes in landscape format, with robed figures, tents, walled towns and hilly backdrops rendered in dense black line hatching, a compact style a designer could borrow for narrative panels.
