Cherebizzi
A 1559 Venetian printed book of letters and jokes by Andrea Calmo, printed in Venice by Domenico de' Farri for a general readership of Italian Renaissance letter-reading. The pictures are black-and-white letterpress pages: an ornate historiated initial M with a seated figure in a framed block, and a title page with a decorative woodcut border and a central cut of figures with an animal, set in centred roman capitals that suggest classic typographic hierarchy.
