Almida : tragedia
Almida is a 1605 Italian tragedy by Agostino Dolce, printed in Udine by Giovanni Battista Natolini and held by the Getty Research Institute. Its pictures are decorative woodcut historiated initials, large letters framed by scrolling acanthus leaves and filled with bearded old men, a grotesque face, and a cherub, which a designer could adapt for ornamental capitals and frame borders.
