Discorso sopra la mascherata della geneologia degl'iddei de' gentili
Baldini's 1566 Florentine account of a masquerade procession honouring Francesco I and Giovanna of Austria, printed by the Giunti press. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a decorated capital letter D or F framing a figure such as a robed man, a seated nude, or a crowned ruler, with ornamental scrollwork and hatched backgrounds that a designer could adapt for display lettering or decorative frames.
