L'Endimion
L'Endimion is a 1624 Paris edition of a pastoral poem by Jean Ogier de Gombauld, published by Nicolas Buon with engravings after designs attributed to Crispijn van de Passe and Léonard Gaultier, made for a courtly literary audience. The engravings are black-and-white line prints with dense hatching, showing wooded landscapes, classical figures in groups, and crowded ceremonial scenes, offering a designer models of compositional layering, foliage framing, and tightly cross-hatched shading.
