Le collezioni veneziane d'arte e d'antichità dal secolo XIV. ai nostri giorni
A Venetian art and antiquities collections history by Cesare Augusto Levi, published in Venice by F. Ongania in 1900, tracing private and public collecting from the fourteenth century onward. The pictures are red-line and black-line illustrations: a scholar's study crowded with objects, a ground plan of a garden-side building with numbered rooms, and an engraved ex libris scene of a man presenting a framed painting to a crowd. A designer might take the tight room-as-cabinet layout and the crisp single-colour line work for editorial or exhibition graphics.
