Nel condurre la solenne processione del Santissimo Sacramento della chiesa parochiale di S. Maria Mascharella, la Veneranda Compagnia di Sa[n]ta Maria Maddalena

Compagnia di Santa Maria Maddalena (Bologna, Italy) · 1627 · Bologna : P[er] gli heredi dei Cochi · 11 pictures

A 1627 Bologna devotional pamphlet from the Compagnia di Santa Maria Maddalena, printed by the heirs of Cochi to guide a confraternity's procession of the Blessed Sacrament at S. Maria Mascharella. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and ornaments: a large letter I entwined with foliage and grotesque figures, a framed letter with a bearded face, and a scrolled cartouche with a central medallion. A designer could take from them dense, interlaced woodcut ornament that suits historical lettering and decorative capitals.
