L'art de l'imprimerie à Venise
A Venetian printing history published in 1896 by Ferdinando Ongania, with a New York edition, written for collectors and historians of early printing. The pictures are black-and-white reproductions of early Venetian printers' devices, decorative initials, woodcut borders and an ornamented title page, with a few stylized figures and animals. A designer could take inspiration from the dense, interlocking woodcut borders, the red-and-black initial letters and the compact emblematic marks.
