Phaedri, Augusti Caesaris liberti, Fabularum Aesopiarum libri quinque ; notis perpetuis illustrati, & cum integris aliorum observationibvs
This is a 1667 Latin edition of Phaedrus's fables, edited by Johannes Laurentius and issued by Amsterdam booksellers Janssonius van Waesberge and the widow of Elizeus Weyerstraet, for scholars and schoolroom readers. The small engravings show everyday scenes of townsfolk, animals and staged performances, with dense hatching and clear figure groupings a designer could adapt for narrative vignettes.
