Les parodies du nouveau theatre italien, ou, recueil des parodies représentées sur le Théâtre de l'Hôtel de Bourgogne, par les comediens italiens ordinaires du roy : avec les airs gravés
A collection of French parodies of Italian comedy performed at the Hôtel de Bourgogne theatre in Paris, published in 1738 by Briasson and credited to Mathey, Scotin, Dominique and Romagnesi for a theatre-going public. Its pages show a typeset cast list under a dense floral and scrollwork headpiece, a row of repeated ornamental cartouches, a small leaf-and-scroll vignette, and a scene opening with a title and a centred leaf-frame heading, offering a designer models of symmetrical baroque ornament and classical typographic hierarchy.
