Verona Illustrata: Contiene L'Istoria Letteraria O Sia La Notizia De' Scrittori Veronesi
Verona Illustrata is a 1731 scholarly history of Veronese writers by Scipione Maffei, edited by Jacopo Vallarsi and Pierantonio Berno, printed for an audience of learned readers. The four pictures are near-identical scans of a horizontal decorative tailpiece: a central shell flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves and winged dragon-like creatures, drawn in fine engraved line with dense cross-hatching.
