A 1520 Paris printed treatise on the institution and administration of the public commonwealth, by Francesco Patrizi, published by Galliot Du Pre and printed by Pierre Vidoue for readers interested in political science. Its pictures are woodcuts of crowded civic scenes: a street or building scene with figures climbing stairs and working near a tower, a classroom-like interior with seated scholars, and a throned ruler surrounded by attendants and heraldic fleurs-de-lis, useful for designers seeking dense, rhythmic crowd compositions and early printed-book framing.
