Guarinoni, Giovanni Pietro, Caprani, Nicolò · 1642 · In Como : Per Nicolò Caprani, stampator' episcopale · 1 picture

A 1642 devotional pamphlet printed in Como by Nicolò Caprani, recording miracles attributed to Saint Dominic in the Valtellina, with a discourse on a miraculous image of the saint. The single picture is a small woodcut printer's ornament: a cross-shaped frame with a central face framed by drapery, surrounded by scrolls and grotesque animal heads at the corners. A designer might borrow its symmetrical cross layout, interlaced border and corner scrollwork for a compact emblem or headpiece.

Dominic, Saint, 1170-1221
