Giardino di agricoltura ... : nel quale ... si tratta di tutto quello, che s'appartiene à sapere à un perfetto giardiniero

Bussato, Marco · 1593 · Venice : B. Carampello · 15 pictures

Giardino di agricoltura is a 1593 Venetian gardening manual by Marco Bussato, printed by B. Carampello for practical gardeners, and this plate shows four decorative woodcut friezes of symmetrical scrolls, rosettes and interlaced strapwork. The bands of mirrored volutes and stylised leaves suggest ornamental borders, panel dividers and repeat patterns for a designer working in a Renaissance or early-modern revival style.
