Ceccherelli, Alessandro · 1567 · [Florence? : s.n.] · 2 pictures

A 1567 Florentine account of carnival festivals, masquerades and the christening of the Medici princess, written by Alessandro Ceccherelli and printed in Florence for courtly readers. The two pictures are small woodcuts: a historiated initial L showing a horseman with plumed helmet charging beside a mounted rider, and a crowned oval cartouche with five roundels set among scrolled strapwork, useful for designers seeking compact Renaissance ornament and framing devices.
