Giani, Arcangelo, Servites · 1601 · In Fiorenza : Apresso Giorgio Marescotti · 10 pictures

A 1601 Florentine funeral oration, printed by Giorgio Marescotti and written by Arcangelo Giani for the Servite fathers' memorial service for Abate Alessandro Pucci at the Church of the Annunziata. The four pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a decorative initial L, a round framed medallion, and fragments of foliate borders with scrolling acanthus leaves, grotesque heads and cherubs, drawn in bold black outline with hatched shading that suggests strong graphic contrast and rhythmic border repetition for designers.
