Le vite de gli re di Francia : & de gli duca di Milano & de le loro guerre sino alla presa del Re Francesco primo ... /
A 1525 Italian printed book, the lives of the kings of France and dukes of Milan and their wars up to the capture of King Francis I, printed in Rome by Francesco Minucio Calvo and written by Victorio Sabino, held by the Newberry Library. The three pictures are a repeating floral textile pattern of bouquets, ribbons and leaf sprigs on a cream ground, plus the Newberry Library bookplate with a bust in an oval frame, offering a designer a ready model for historic botanical repeat patterns.
