Il colosso della costanza : cantata musicale in lode dell'inuittissimo rè della Gran Bretagna Giacomo II, ed all'istesso da' signori conuittori del Seminario Romano
A 1689 Italian printed cantata in praise of the English king James II, issued in Rome by the Apostolic Camera's press with music by Bernardo Pasquini and performed by students of the Roman Seminary. Its pictures are small black-and-white letterpress ornaments: a scrolled foliate cartouche, a winged putto with swags between floral clusters, and a decorated initial C framed by interlaced foliage, useful for designers seeking historical border and capital-letter motifs.
