Iconografia, cioè disegni d'imagini de famosissimi monarchi, regi, filosofi, poeti ed oratori dell'antichità, cauati
Iconografia is a 1669 Italian book printed in Rome by I. de' Lazari, made by Giovanni Angelo and Marco Antonio Canini for readers of classical history. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials, large letters built from interlaced scrollwork, foliage and small human heads, with heavy ink and rough edges; a designer could borrow their framing, ornamental letterforms and grotesque scroll motifs for display type or period-style borders.
