Gli amorosi sospetti : favola pastorale
A pastoral play printed in Venice in 1605 by Gio. Battista Ciotti, written by Angelo Gabrieli, and aimed at Italian readers of courtly drama. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a square frame of scrolling foliage around a central rosette, and a repeating band of scrolled and fleured motifs. A designer could draw on these for compact border tiles, corner frames, and repeat strips in historical type layouts.
