I qvattro libri delle osservationi
An Italian-language book printed in Venice in 1562 by Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari, written by Lodovico Dolce (1508-1568) and apparently aimed at readers of Italian. The pictures here are small woodcut ornaments: a decorative cartouche, a historiated initial D with a seated figure, and two strips of foliate scrollwork that a designer could borrow for headers, borders, or initial letters.
