Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
This 1770 Italian collected edition of works by Lodovico Antonio Muratori, former librarian to the Duke of Modena, is a scholarly antiquarian volume, shown here through its decorative typographic ornaments. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut headpieces, a cartouche-style border, and historiated and foliate initial letters, with dense scrolling acanthus foliage and putti that a designer could draw on for border, initial-cap and frame motifs.
