Severano, Giovanni · 1630 · In Roma : Per Giacomo Mascardi · 45 pictures

Giovanni Severano's 1630 guide to Rome's seven pilgrimage churches and their surrounding sites, printed in Rome by Giacomo Mascardi for devotional readers and visitors. The pictures are small letterpress woodcut initials and head-pieces, with dense scrollwork, acanthus-like foliage, and fleshy leaf forms framing single capital letters, a useful reference for Baroque ornamental borders and drop caps.
