La galeria del cavalier Marino : distinta in pittvre & sculture
La galeria del cavalier Marino is a 1620 Italian poetry collection by Giambattista Marino, printed in Ancona by Cesare Scaccioppa and aimed at readers of verse about painting and sculpture. Its pages are dense black-letter text in long lines and columns, with one ornamental woodcut initial letter with leafy scrollwork. A designer could take from it the typographic texture of 17th-century Italian printing and the decorative foliate capital letter as a model for historical lettering.
