Il busto colossale di Francesco Primo, imperatore e re, signore nostro
An 1825 Milanese publication from the Bettoni printing and engraving house, issued as a commemorative record of a colossal bust of Emperor Francis I of Austria. The three pictures are an ex libris-style armorial bookplate with a crowned shield and a plate of a bust in classical drapery. The bust engraving shows a laureled head, a cloak draped over one shoulder, and a double-headed eagle on the bust's band, which a designer could draw on for imperial or neoclassical monument imagery.
