The classic and connoisseur in Italy and Sicily : with an appendix containing an abridged translation of Lanzi's Storia pittorica
A travel and art-history guide from 1835 by G. W. D. Evans, with Luigi Lanzi's history of Italian painting appended, published in London for educated English readers touring Italy and Sicily. The one picture is an ornate bookplate showing a heraldic shield flanked by two rampant lions, a crown, a ribbon banner reading ENDURE FORT, and a Latin-style inscription for the Bibliotheca Lindesiana. A designer might take from it the symmetrical composition of heraldic supporters, shield and scrolled cartouche as a model for formal emblems.
