Asdrvbale : tragedia
Asdrvbale is a 1562 tragedy by Jacopo Castellini, printed in Florence by L. Torrentino, dealing with the Second Punic War. The pictures are small woodcut historiated and decorative initials set beside italic text, with one showing a figure with a sword and another a foliate ornamental letter, useful to a designer for compact framed capital letters that pair with classical type.
