Ovid, 43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D · 1515 · Venetiis : in aedibus Aldi, et Andreae soceri · 1 picture

A 1515 Latin edition of Ovid's collected works printed by Aldus Manutius and his father-in-law Andrea in Venice, aimed at scholars and students of classical poetry. Its one picture is a printer's device on the title page: a crown above a ring of medallions and bows, with a lion in the centre, a bird and a smaller animal below, and a small cartouche of letters. Designers can take from it a compact, symmetrical emblem layout where a crown, ribbons and roundels frame a central motif.
