Agnelli, Federico, 1626-1702, Malatesta, Giulio Cesare, 17th cent · 1659 · In Milano : Nella R.D. corte, per Giulio Cesare Malatesta ... · 33 pictures

A 1659 Milanese festival account by Federico Agnelli and Giulio Cesare Malatesta, printed at the royal court press to record public celebrations for the birth of Prince Philip Prosper of Spain. The pictures are engraved emblem frames with Latin mottoes, showing an eagle attacking a dragon, a dove in clouds, a sun-lit tree with a bird, and a planetary diagram. A designer could take from them the oval cartouche frames with scrolled, fruit-and-foliage borders and the compact pairing of motto banners with small allegorical vignettes.
