Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori is an 1771 Italian collected edition by the antiquarian Lodovico Antonio Muratori, former librarian to the Duke of Modena, and its engraved ornaments are printers' headpieces and initials for a scholarly readership. The four pictures are black woodcut-style decorations: a scrolled acanthus frieze, a heraldic cartouche with laurel and a bell-shaped motif, a floral urn with trailing vines, and a framed initial U flanked by flower vases and a mask. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scroll work, framing devices and classical urn motifs for period-style borders.
