Indicazione delle immagini di Maria Santissima : collocate sulle mure esterne di taluni edifici dell'alma città di Roma : con appendice

Rufini, Alessandro · 1853 · Roma : Coi tipi di G. Ferretti · 2 pictures

An 1853 Roman guidebook by Alessandro Rufini, printed by G. Ferretti, listing images of the Virgin Mary placed on the exterior walls of Rome's buildings, with an appendix. The pictures are small oval woodcut-style prints of a Madonna and Child under a crown with a halo, with the image's caption printed beneath. A designer could take from them the compact oval framing, the haloed devotional figure, and the plain black-line book-plate style of mid-nineteenth-century Italian religious printing.
