Notitie historiche della citta d'Ancona : gia termine dell' antico regno d'Italia con diuersi auuenimenti nella Marca Anconitana, & in detto regno accaduti
A 1675 Italian history of the city of Ancona, printed in Rome by Nicolo Angelo Tinassi at the expense of its publisher, and written by Giuliano Saracini for an Italian readership interested in the Marche region. The four pictures are decorative printer's initials, each a letter within a framed woodcut border of foliage, scrolls and ornament. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut vegetal borders and the way a single capital sits inside a boxed field of ornament.
