The first edition of Les Songes Drolatiques de Pantagruel, ou sont contenues plusieurs figures de l’invention de maistre François Rabelais (The Comic Dreams of Pantagruel, where several figures are contained in the invention of Master François Rabelais) was published in 1565. Since then, these curious figures have been reprinted many time, including this 1922 German edition Die trollatischen Traüme des Pantagruel (Graphic Arts Collection (GA), PQ1687 .S615 1922).
The original prints are attributed the French engraver and illustrator François Desprez, who printed and published two other sets of imaginative designs in 1567; Recueil de la diuersité des habits (A Collection of Diverse Costumes) and Recueil des effigies des roys de France (A Collection of Pictures of the Kings of France).
