Ristretto delle cose più notabili della città di Firenze
A 1745 Florentine guide to the notable sights of Florence, printed at Bernardo Paperini's press in Firenze for the bookseller Jacopo Carlieri and associated with Raffaello del Bruno and Anton Francesco Marmi. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments, mostly horizontal bands and oval cartouches of scrolling acanthus, shells, flowers and foliage set between passages of text. A designer could take from them a set of ready-made eighteenth-century Italian headpieces and dividers for borders, chapter openers or decorative rules.
