Vita, morte e funerale d'Innocenzo Vndecimo, pontefice ottimo e massimo
An Italian funeral account of Pope Innocent XI, printed in Milan in 1692 by Carlo Remenolfo, with text by Giovanni Battista Pittoni and recording the pope's life, death and burial. The three pictures are small printer's ornaments: two matching bands of stylised flowers and leaves in black on white, and a winged cherub's head with curling hair and feathered wings, all cut as woodblock vignettes for page breaks and headings. A designer could take from them simple symmetrical floral borders and a compact winged face motif for decorative trim.
