Bianchi, Brigida · 1659 · A Parigi : Presso Clavdio Cramoisy ... · 5 pictures

A comedy printed in Paris in 1659 by Claudio Cramoisy, Italian text by Brigida Bianchi translated from Spanish, with musical poems included. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a grotesque mask framed by scrolls, a leafy foliated headpiece with a face, and two decorative initial letters, a D and an M, with ornate interlace borders. A designer could draw on these as compact, reusable motifs for headers, capitals and symmetrical borders.
