Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
A 1768 Italian edition of the collected works of Lodovico Antonio Muratori, the Modena librarian and antiquarian, drawn from the Cicognara subject section on antiquities. The four pictures are printed ornaments: a rococo cartouche with a crowned emblem, tools and a helmet, a scrolled frieze with figures, and a basket of fruit and flowers between scroll panels. A designer could take from them the dense, asymmetric scrollwork and the eighteenth-century borders and cartouches used as page decoration.
