Bocchi, Francesco, 1548-1618 · 1610 · In Firenze : Nella Stamperia di Bartolomeo Sermartelli e fratelli · 6 pictures

A 1610 Florentine oration by Francesco Bocchi, printed by the Sermartelli press in Florence, praising the late Lorenzo Salviati, marquis of Giuliano, and written for a funeral audience. The pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a heraldic shield flanked by putti and a central ship device, a cartouche with classical female figures holding a shield and a Latin dedication, a grotesque mask initial, and a decorative letter S set in foliage, all useful for ornamental borders, heraldic cartouches, and historical title-page framing.
