Description

The Comical Dreams of Pantagruel is a collection of 120 engravings published by Richard Breton in 1565. These illustrations are attributed to François Rabelais, who had passed away twelve years earlier.

Each engraving is accompanied by comments from the Grand Jacques edition, which reveal subtle details about the figures. The engravings bring back memories of the life of Gargantua and the incredible deeds of Pantagruel, King of the Dispodes.

This unique collection offers a glimpse into the world of François Rabelais' contemporaries through the lens of his most famous work.
