Cellini, Benvenuto, 1500-1571 · 1568 · In Fiorenza : Per Valente Panizzij, & Marco Peri. · 32 pictures

This 1568 Florentine treatise by Benvenuto Cellini, printed in Florence by Valente Panizzij and Marco Peri, sets out the techniques of goldsmithing and sculpture for working artisans and craftsmen. Its pictures are small woodcut initials, each letter filled with a walled hill town, a gate, towers and rooftops in dense hatched line, a compact model for designers building letter-based or landscape-in-type compositions.
