Il soldato

Mora, Domenico, b. 1539, Porcacchi, Thomaso, ca. 1530-1585?f · 1570 · In Vinetia : Appresso Gabriel Giolito di Ferrarii · 16 pictures

Il soldato is a 1570 Venetian military treatise by Domenico Mora and Thomaso Porcacchi, printed by Gabriel Giolito for soldiers and officers. Its pictures are small woodcut diagrams of fortification plans, a stepped military structure, an ornamental mask cartouche, and a decorated initial letter, so a designer might borrow their compact line-hatched shapes and Renaissance ornament.
