Le vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori ed architettori
A Florentine edition of Vasari's lives of Italian artists, edited by Milanesi and published by Sansoni in 1906, aimed at art scholars and collectors. Its pictures are monogram-style ornamental initials with interlaced scrollwork in heavy black ink, and a genealogical family tree printed sideways, which a designer could use for decorative borders, monogram frames, or diagram layouts.
