Il Clorindo, tragedia pastorale
A 1603 Italian pastoral tragedy, Il Clorindo by Giulio Malmignati, printed in Treviso by Aurelio Reghettini for a literate reading audience. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a printer's emblem with two columns and a banner, all in dense black line work on cream paper. A designer could draw on their interlaced ornament, carved block lettering, and heraldic framing for historical display type and decorative capitals.
