Rusconi, Arturo Jahn · 1906 · Bergamo: Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche · 37 pictures

A 1906 Italian guidebook to the Villa Borghese, its museum and gallery, written by Arturo Jahn Rusconi and published in Bergamo by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche for visitors and art students. Its plates are reproductions of Renaissance and Baroque paintings shown as tipped-in pages with numbered captions. Designers can take from them the oval and rounded-panel compositions, dark grounds with single figures in profile, and the skull and candle still-life details that suit historical or moody layouts.
