Relation de la cour de Rome : faite l'an 1661 au Conseil du Pregadi

Correr, Angelo · 1663 · A Leide : chez Almarigo Lorens · 1 picture

A 1663 Leiden printing of Angelo Correr's report on the papal court at Rome, prepared for the Venetian Senate's Pregadi council and concerning Pope Alexander VII. The one picture is a decorative printer's initial C, a woodcut of a large letter framed by stylised leaves and foliage in heavy black line, a typical ornament of the period that a designer might borrow for a drop cap, monogram or botanical border.
