Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
A 1769 Italian collected edition of the works of Lodovico Antonio Muratori, former librarian to the Duke of Modena, held by Heidelberg University Library and catalogued under antiquities in general. The four pictures are typographic ornaments and head-pieces from its printed pages, cut as small woodblock-style decorations. They show dense scrolling acanthus, garlands, cherubs, and emblematic vessels in engraved black line, a usable repertoire for designers seeking period baroque ornament, cartouches, and border motifs.
