Les images de tovs les saincts et saintes de l'année, svivant le martyrologe romain : faictes par Iacques Calat, et mis en lumiere par Israel Henriet ..

Callot, Jacques, 1592-1635, Henriet, Israel, ca. 1590-1661 · 1636 · A Paris : Chez Israel Henriet · 20 pictures

A set of Catholic saints' calendar prints published in Paris in 1636 by Israel Henriet after drawings by Jacques Callot, made for devotional use and following the Roman martyrology day by day. Each small oval etching shows a saint's life or martyrdom in a single crisp scene, with the feast date and saint's name lettered above and below, so a designer can take its compact framing, crowded figure groups, and dense hatched line work.
