"The Chableur" is a notable woodcut illustration from the "Ordonnances Royaux de la Juridiction de la Prevote des Marchands de la Ville de Paris," a collection of royal ordinances concerning the jurisdiction of the Provost of the Merchants of Paris, published in 1528. This work was produced by Antoine Verard, a French publisher, bookseller, and printer who was active at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Verard is renowned for his contributions to the development of book illustration and for being among the first in France to incorporate woodcuts to embellish books.

The woodcut "The Chableur" is significant for its intricate design and historical value, providing insight into the legal and commercial practices of early 16th-century Paris. The illustration is part of a larger body of work that documents the governance of trade and commerce under the authority of the Provost of the Merchants, an office that played a crucial role in the administration of the city's affairs.

Antoine Verard's "Ordonnances Royaux" is a testament to the evolution of the printed book in France, showcasing the interplay between text and image. The inclusion of woodcuts like "The Chableur" not only served an aesthetic purpose but also functioned as a visual aid to the legal texts, making the ordinances more accessible to a readership that might have included individuals with varying levels of literacy.

The 1528 publication is a reflection of the growing importance of regulatory texts during a period of increasing complexity in urban life and trade. It stands as an important artifact for scholars interested in the history of printing, book illustration, and the legal and administrative history of early modern Paris.
