Documenti per la storia dell'arte senese
An 1854 Italian art-history volume by Gaetano Milanesi, printed by O. Porri in Siena, documenting the art of that city. Its one picture is a small engraved heraldic achievement, a shield topped by a crown and flanked by two rampant lions, set on a pale tinted ground with an ornamental scroll below. A designer could take from it a compact, symmetrical coat-of-arms layout suited to emblems, bookplates, or seals.
