In June, 1493, Verard published in three large folio volumes, printed for him by Jean Morand, _Les Croniques de France_, with pictures of a coronation, royal entry into a town, a king sitting in judgment, etc. etc., the cutting being only of average delicacy, but good enough to do justice to the vigour of some of the designs. From this point onwards his interest seems more and more to have centred in his illuminated copies, and almost all the later Verard illustrations in M. Claudin's great work are taken from these. Along, however, with many old cuts in his undated _Bible historiee_ there are two very fine ones specially made for the work, one of Adam and Eve in Eden, a round cut placed, below the roots of a tree, in a square of black, from which it stands out with extraordinary vividness (see Plate XIX), and a picture of the Trinity and the four evangelists. In an undated _Terence en francois_, printed about 1500, Verard availed himself of an idea already exploited by Gruninger and some of the Low Country illustrators, the use of blocks made up of five or six pieces used in different combinations, so as to give an effect of great variety at very small expense. Many of the individual blocks, though the figures are not at all Terentian, are very charming, and a few of them were freely copied for the English market, where they may be traced for over a century. About the same time as this Verard published a _Livre des Ordonnances de la Prevoste des Marchans et Eschevinage de la Ville de Paris_, with numerous small illustrations of different crafts and a most interesting picture of the court of the Prevoste with its judges and officials. After the first few years of the sixteenth century Verard seems to have relied more than ever on his stock of old cuts, and does not seem to have produced any notable new books. [Illustration: XIX.
