Memorie de' viaggi e feste per le reali nozze de' serenissimi sposi Violante Beatrice di Baviera, e Ferdinando principe di Toscana
A 1688 Florentine account by Alessandro Segni of the travels and festivities for the royal wedding of Prince Ferdinand of Tuscany and Violante Beatrice of Bavaria, printed by the heirs of Ippolito della Nave. The three pictures are small woodcut initials and a printer's ornament: one initial with two facing dragon-like creatures, one with a swirling foliate or scrolled letter C, and a cartouche flanked by two cherubs, a crown and scrolling foliage. A designer could draw on their dense black-and-white carved line, symmetrical framing and ornamental cartouche layouts.
