Nota di tutte le pietre delle quali è fabbricata la cappella di S.A.R. nominata di S. Lorenzo

1737 · [Florence : s.n.] · 2 pictures

An Italian list of the stones used to build the princely chapel of San Lorenzo in Florence, printed in 1737 with no named publisher beyond the city, probably for patrons, craftsmen, or those documenting the chapel's marble work. The two pictures are small printed ornaments: a numbered cartouche above a scrolled acanthus panel, and a crenellated crown above a band of acanthus scrolls with a central medallion. A designer could take from them the symmetrical scroll-and-cartouche borders and the crown motif suited to heraldic or stone-carved decoration.
