Cataneo, Girolamo · 1567 · In Brescia : Appresso Thomaso Bozzola · 13 pictures

Girolamo Cataneo's 1567 Italian treatise, printed in Brescia by Thomaso Bozzola, is a manual for gunners on artillery and fireworks. The four pictures are small woodcuts: a bottle-shaped mortar profile, a stacked cannonball diagram, a historiated initial D with two figures, and a spiked ball with a burning fuse, offering a designer compact, period-style decorative devices and graphic emblems.
