Dizionario delle arti e de' mestieri
Dizionario delle arti e de' mestieri is an 18th-century Italian dictionary of trades and crafts, compiled by Francesco Griselini and Marco Fassadoni and printed in Venice in 1768 for working artisans and general readers. Its pictures are small black-and-white plates of processes and emblems, including a silkworm rearing sequence with trays, cocoons and moths that a designer could use for botanical or step-by-step diagrams and for heraldic or ex libris ornament.
