L'arte di ben conoscere, e distinguere le qualità de' cavalli, d'introdurre, e conservare una razza nobile, e di risanare il cavallo dà mali, à quali soggiace ...
An Italian treatise on horsemanship, the art of judging horses, breeding a noble stock and curing equine ailments, written by Marino Garzoni and printed in Venice by Andrea Poletti in 1700. The pictures are small woodcut-style initial letters with horsemen and clouds, plus a copperplate plate of a rearing horse marked with numbered points, showing how a designer can pair a decorative capital with a single figure in a framed roundel.
