Discordia svperata : torneo combattuto in Ferrara in carneuale del anno 1635
This 1635 Italian account of a carnival tournament held in Ferrara was published by Per il Suzzi and written by Ascanio Pio, with the record crediting Francesco Guitti. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut headpieces and tailpieces: a shield flanked by grotesque masks and foliage, and a central face framed by scrolling ornament with winged creatures at the ends. A designer could draw on their symmetrical, carved-looking framing devices for borders, dividers, and heraldic emblems.
