Les diuerses fantasies des hommes et des femmes
Les diuerses fantasies des hommes et des femmes is a 1538 French book printed in Paris by Denys Ianot and attributed to Pierre Gringore, a poet and playwright of around 1475 to 1538, for a general readership of the period. Its woodcut pictures show robed figures in crowded interior and street scenes, with bishops, kings, a seated judge, a kneeling supplicant and a woman gesturing in a doorway, drawn in bold black outlines with hatched shadows that a designer could borrow for dense narrative vignettes or historical costume references.
