Opere drammatiche e componimenti poetici
An 18th-century Italian collection of Metastasio's opera librettos and poems, printed in Milan in 1748 by Giuseppe Cairoli for general readers of drama. The pictures are repeating horizontal ornamental bands of scrolled, leafy, and fleur-like cast-metal type ornaments, with dense symmetrical rhythm and tight spacing a designer could borrow for borders, dividers, or pattern repeats.
