A Lion : Par Ian de Tovrnes,
M. D. LVII. [1557]
A collection of small woodcuts from de Tournes' stock, mostly printed one to a leaf with the versos blank.  Many are by Bernard Salomon or his workshop.  It may have been intended as an "album amicorum" to be inscribed by friends of the owner.  The cuts of various sizes depict stages, myths, and hunting scenes, as well as heads of men and women.  Many of them had been, or were later, used as book illustrations.
Another issue in 1556.  Copies appear to vary widely.
