A 1619 Italian festival account printed in Mantua by Aurelio and Lodovico Osanna, written by Gabriele Bertazzolo to record the celebrations for the election of Ferdinand II as Holy Roman Emperor, addressed to the Archduchess of Tuscany. The four pictures are small decorative woodcut initials and a coat of arms with a crown and the word FIDE, showing interlaced foliage, a putto with a horn, and heraldic shields that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and emblem borders.
