Recinda : tragedia
Recinda is a 1609 tragedy by Claudio Forzatè, printed in Venice by Bernardo Giunta and Giovanni Battista Ciotti for a literate reading public. The pictures are small printer's ornaments of a flowering urn with scrolled handles set on a ground of grass, repeated in slightly different cuts, useful to a designer looking for compact decorative vignettes with a classic early-seventeenth-century woodcut character.
