Il meo Patacca, overo, Roma in feste ne i trionfi di Vienna : poema giocoso nel linguaggio romanesco

Berneri, Giuseppe, 1634-1701 · 1695 · In Roma : Per Marc' Antonio, & Orazio Campana · 12 pictures

A 1695 Roman mock-heroic poem in Romanesque dialect by Giuseppe Berneri, printed in Rome by Marc'Antonio and Orazio Campana, celebrating the 1683 relief of Vienna. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a central bearded mask flanked by bundled fruit and feathered sprays, and a basket of fruit and flowers on a pedestal. A designer could take from them the symmetrical mask-and-cornucopia format and the bold, crude black-line woodcut texture of seventeenth-century Italian print ornament.
