Le tombeav et eloge dv tres-illvstre et tres-magnanime duc de Joyevse : accompagné de plainctes & regrets de la France, & des heureaux anagrammes, Latin & François, du nom d'iceluy
A 1587 French funeral tribute and eulogy for Anne, Duke of Joyeuse, written by André de Rossant and printed at Lyon by Benoist Rigaud, with laments from France and Latin and French anagrams on the duke's name. The single picture shows a kneeling mourner in a long robe praying before a draped altar with a book, candlesticks and a cross, set in a plain interior with a latticed window. A designer might take from it the quiet devotional staging of a woodcut, with its stark contrast between figure and dark altar and its economical use of hatching for drapery and walls.
