Le Vite De' Pittori, De Gli Scvltori Et Architetti Veronesi: Raccolte da varj Autori stampati, e manuscritti, e da altre particolari memorie
This is an Italian biographical dictionary of painters, sculptors and architects from Verona, compiled by Bartolomeo Dal Pozzo and printed in 1718 for readers interested in the city's artists. The pictures are small printed ornaments, symmetrical arrangements of scrolls, flowers and foliage centred on a mask-like face and a pendant bud, cut as blocks and set between text; a designer could take from them a model for compact, symmetrical vignettes and tailpiece-style ornament.
