La caccia dell' arcobugio

Bonfadini, Vita, Remondini, Giovanni Antonio, 17th cent · 1672 · In Bologna, et in Bassano : Per Gio. Antonio Remondini · 3 pictures

La caccia dell' arcobugio is an Italian hunting treatise by Vita Bonfadini, printed in 1672 in Bologna and Bassano by Giovanni Antonio Remondini for hunters and sportsmen. Its small woodcuts show a bored, cask-like firearm mechanism, a kitchen with hanging utensils and a cook at a stove, and a seated dog beneath a tree; the set suggests how a designer might use simple, uncluttered woodcut framing with vertical columns and rectangular borders.
