Il giovinetto drizzato alla bontà, al sapere, all'industria
This is an 1865 Italian juvenile moral primer by Cesare Cantù, printed by the Colombi lithographic press, aimed at young readers learning goodness, knowledge and industry. The woodcut-style pictures are small, rough and unshaded, showing a family group, a horse-drawn coach, a seated figure and a crowded workshop of objects, which a designer might use as simple, direct period vignettes for lessons on family, travel and craft.
