La Pavia trionfante
La Pavia trionfante is a 1606 printed book issued in Pavia by the printer Andrea Viani, written by Antonio Maria Spelta and concerned with Philip IV of Spain. The four pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a decorated initial O, a decorated initial I with leafy scrollwork, a symmetrical scrolled cartouche, and a circular frame enclosing a floral motif, all printed in bold black on cream paper. A designer could draw on their compact, dense ornament for borders, capital letters, and symmetrical panel layouts.
