Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
A 1771 Italian collected edition of works by Lodovico Antonio Muratori, the librarian to the Duke of Modena, printed as part of a series of antiquarian writings. The pictures are engraved printer's ornaments: a heraldic-style cartouche topped with a helmet and trophy of weapons, a hanging basket with scrolls, and a flowing foliage band with a central medallion. Designers can draw on their dense scrollwork, acanthus leaves and symmetrical framing for decorative borders, cartouches and emblem layouts.
