Rules for playing in a true taste on the violin, German flute, violoncello, and harpsicord, particularly the thorough bass : exemplify'd in a variety of compositions on the subjcts [sic] of English, Scotch and Irish tunes
A London instruction book on music performance, written by the Italian violinist and composer Francesco Geminiani and published around 1739 for violin, flute, cello and harpsichord players. Its one visible picture is a decorative calligraphic title lettering, with flourished capitals and swashes spelling 'Rules for' above a small caps line. A designer might take from it the looping ornamental script and swash letterforms of eighteenth-century engraved title pages.
