Dispareri in Materia d'Architettura, et Perspettiva : con Pareri di Eccellenti, et Famosi Architetti, che li risolvono
A 1572 Italian treatise on architecture and perspective by Martino Bassi, printed in Brescia by the Marchetti brothers, collecting expert opinions on disputed architectural matters such as the Milan cathedral. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a tall I, an H and an S, framed with acanthus scrolls, leaves and small flowers in a mostly black-and-white linear style that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and frame borders.
