The history of Venice ... Written originally in Italian
The history of Venice, written originally in Italian by Paolo Paruta and translated by Henry Carey, Earl of Monmouth, was published in London in 1658 by A. Roper and H. Herringman, a historical account of the Venetian state and its wars. Its pictures are repeated woodcut-style decorative strips of birds, a flowering urn and vine scrolls, a dense black-on-cream pattern a designer could adapt for borders or textile repeats.
