Pozzo, Giulio, marchese del, 1626-, Rossi, Dominico, fl. 1679 · 1679 · In Verona : Per Dominico Rossi · 30 pictures

A 1679 Italian local history printed in Verona by Dominico Rossi, tracing the lords of Garda and the Carlotti family of Verona and Tuscany. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a figure in a decorative frame, a skeleton within a cartouche, a historiated initial S beside printed text, and a scrolled cartouche with a mask. A designer could take from them the dense black-and-white vocabulary of baroque woodcut borders, scrollwork and framed grotesques.
