Il buon fanciullo : racconti d'un maestro elementare
Il buon fanciullo is an 1869 Italian collection of stories for children, written by Cesare Cantù, a schoolmaster, and printed by Carlo Colombi's press; the scans show ornamental printed borders and a cover with a sunburst panel. The pictures are small black-line ornaments, including classical urns, scroll corners and interlaced frames, which suggest a designer could borrow their symmetrical framing and decorative motifs for period-style layouts.
