Atti della imp. regia Accademia di belle arti in Venezia per la distribuzione de' premii dell'anno ..
This is an annual record of prize distribution from the Imperial Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, issued by the academy itself for Italian artists and students, printed in Venice in 1839 by the Erede Picotti press. The first picture is a bordered woodcut-style figure of a draped, helmeted woman standing among flowers and an urn, and the second is a plain title page with a double-ruled frame, centred black-letter-style capitals and a small central vignette. A designer could take from the pair a restrained contrast between a decorative framed title and a lively line-drawn classical figure.
