Ifigenia : tragedia
Ifigenia is a 1597 Venetian printed edition of Lodovico Dolce's tragedy on the Greek myth of Iphigenia, issued by the Sessa press for a literary reading public. The four pictures are woodcut historiated initial letters, mostly the letter D, framed in black rectangles with dense scrolling foliage and interlace that a designer could adapt for decorative capitals.
