Ragguagli di varii scavi e scoverte di antichità fatte nell' isola di Capri
An 1793 Italian archaeological report by Norbert Hadrawa, describing excavations and finds of antiquities on the island of Capri, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are small letterpress woodcut ornaments: scrolled cartouches with acanthus-like leafwork, a central shield or medallion, and a flower-filled vase, all in dense hatched black line. A designer could take from them ready-made border and frame motifs, with scroll-and-vase compositions adaptable to decorative panels and vignettes.
