Printer’s mark of Macé (Mathieu) Bonhomme
The image is taken from the Picta poesis of the French humanist Barthélemy Aneau, printed by Macé Bonhomme in Lyon in 1552. Bonhomme incorporated a Greek motto (transl. 'From labour comes glory') into his mark, which shows the victorious Perseus holding the head of Medusa. This supports the image of Bonhomme as a cultured printer.
