Funerale della signora Sitti Maani Gioerida della Valle. Celebrato in Roma l'anno 1627
A 1627 Roman funeral account published by the Accademia degli Humoristi for the funeral of Maani Gioerida della Valle, written by Girolamo Rocchi with Pietro Della Valle and printed by the heirs of Bartolomeo Zannetti. The pictures are four black-on-white printed ornamental panels of scrolling foliage, bracketed rectangular frames and horizontal bands, built as repeating tiles. A designer could take from them a dense, symmetrical baroque border system that works as a model for pattern repeats and framed page layouts.
