A 1627 Italian comedy by Niccolò Secchi, printed in Venice by Ghirardo Imberti, held by the Getty Research Institute. The four pictures are small decorative woodcut initials and ornamental letter blocks, one a looped foliage O within a bordered frame, another a historiated capital L with figures and scrollwork, showing how early seventeenth-century printers built ornament into the page for designers studying compact letter ornament and border framing.
