A 1622 Italian account printed in Mantua by Aurelio and Lodovico Osanna, written by Gabriele Bertazzolo, describing the wedding of Eleonora Gonzaga to Emperor Ferdinand II and the festivities along the route to Innsbruck. The pictures are small decorative typography: a large ornamental initial E, a historiated initial O with a figure, a grotesque framed initial, and a winged or banded emblem with the letters EX, all set in dense black-letter-style Italian text that a designer could borrow for period-appropriate display type and ornament.
