Laurentii Pignorii Patauini De seruis, et eorum apud veteres ministerijs, commentarius : in quo familia, tum urbana, tum rustica, ordine producitur & illustratur
A 1656 Latin scholarly commentary on slavery and household servants in ancient Rome, printed in Padua by Paolo Frambotti and held by the Getty Research Institute. Its woodcut plates show ancient objects such as a bell-shaped stopper, a horn-like vessel with a handle, an inscribed tablet, and a key, drawn in simple black line with cross-hatched shading that suggests antiquarian catalogue drawings a designer could borrow for vintage labels or archaeological-style graphics.
