A 1658 Neapolitan printed libretto, a musical drama (dramma musicale) by Giuseppe Castaldo and Giuseppe Alfiero, celebrating the christening of the Spanish infante Felipe Prospero. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a decorated initial letter, floral headpieces, and a mask flanked by putti, cut in a bold, crude black-and-white style that a designer could borrow for borders and capitals.
