Guida fedele de' giovani adulti ad una vita saggia, onesta, e civile
A 1759 Italian guide by Carlo Placardi, addressed to young adults on living a wise, honest and civil life; its publisher is not identified in the record. The four small woodcut ornaments are a cartouche with scrolls and a central roundel, a second near-identical cartouche, an oval frame holding a ship in rough seas under a Latin motto, and a floral sprig, all printed as tailpieces and headpieces that a designer could borrow for decorative borders, dividers or vignettes in period-style layouts.
