Venetia Citta Nobilissima, Et Singolare: Descritta in XIIII. Libri

Sansovino, Francesco, Martinioni, Giustiniano [Hrsg.] · 1663 · 15 pictures

Venetia Citta Nobilissima, et Singolare is a 1663 Venetian guidebook in fourteen books, edited by Giustiniano Martinioni from Francesco Sansovino's earlier text, aimed at travellers and readers of Italian city descriptions. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments, square panels of interlaced scrollwork radiating from a central rosette, with each variant reworking the same pattern. A designer could take from them a compact repeating motif for borders, tiles, or ironwork-style frames.
