Firenze città nobilissima
Firenze città nobilissima is a 1684 Italian city description printed in Florence by the Stamperia della Stella, written by Ferdinando Leopoldo del Migliore and Pietro Antonio dell'Ancisa. The four pictures are decorated woodcut initial letters (I, E, T, F) whose dense, foliated ornament of scrolling leaves, tendrils and curling forms, cut in heavy black and pale tan, offers a designer a range of historical capital letters for display headings and drop caps.
