Lucanus
Lucanus is a 1515 Latin edition of the poet Lucan, printed in Venice at the Aldine press by Aldus and his father-in-law Andrea, for a scholarly readership. The picture is a printer's device framed as a title-page emblem: a crowned oval wreath of foliage and rosettes around a central motif, with a pedestal, a winged helmet-like form and a dated inscription beneath, all in fine black line on a cream page.
