A 1571 Latin treatise on poisons, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press, by the physician Jacques Grévin of Paris and translated by Hieremias Martius, with an appendix on antimony for physicians and apothecaries. The woodcuts show venomous animals identified by close, numbered-looking outlines against the printed page. A designer might take from them the plain engraved line work of sixteenth-century natural-history plates, with fine hatching and stippled texture.
