M. Tullii Ciceronis Orationum. Pars I [-III].

Cicero, Marcus Tullius · 1550 · Venetiis, : apud Aldi filios. · 3 pictures

A 1550 Venetian printing of Cicero's Orations, issued by the Aldine press heirs (apud Aldi filios) for scholars and students of Latin. The pictures are woodcut printer's devices: the Aldine anchor and dolphin mark flanked by putti, and a small oval seal. A designer could take from them the compact symmetrical framing of a publisher's emblem, with figures holding a central anchor and dolphin.
