Richa, Giuseppe · 1756 · 54 pictures

Notizie Istoriche Delle Chiese Fiorentine is a 1756 Italian guide to the churches of Florence, written by Giuseppe Richa and arranged by city quarter, here the quarter of Santa Maria Novella. Its pictures are small woodcut headpieces, all repeating one design: two embracing winged putti above a central cartouche, flanked by scrolling acanthus and hanging swags of ribbon and foliage. A designer could take from them a symmetrical, mirrored ornament model suited to a title page or chapter opener.
