“First collected edition of the three children’s books based by Charles Estienne on Lazare de Ba\u00eff’s studies of Roman antiquities. De re navali <\/i>contains eight woodcuts which are considered the first illustrations ever to be used expressly for children. These originally appeared in the very rare edition of 1537 but were suppressed from most later editions. The present collected edition is one of the few editions to retain these woodcuts” (Schreiber).<\/p>\n
