A' dilettanti delle bell' arti
An 18th-century Florentine print series by Giovanni Battista Betti, published in 1779 and addressed to lovers of the fine arts, with its catalogue listing it under alphabets. Its plates are rotated, sideways pages of etched mythological scenes framed by curling scrolls and flourishes, a decorative ornament source for designers working with frames, cartouches and initial letters.
