Pompe natalizie celebrate nella felice nascita del real primogenito di Sauoia principe di Piemonte Vittorio Amedeo III : dall' augusta città di Torino, alli 24. giugno dell' anno M.DC.XC.IX
A 1699 Italian festival account printed in Turin by Giovanni Battista Fontana, describing celebrations for the birth of the Prince of Piedmont, Vittorio Amedeo III, and written by Amedeo Marchisio. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments, mostly symmetrical floral and scrolled fleurons used as headpieces and dividers. A designer could take from them compact, mirror-balanced ornament units built from rosettes, acanthus-like scrolls and leaves that suit borders and page breaks.
