Bugati, Gasparo, active 16th century · 1578 · Milano : Per P. Gottardo, & Pacifico Pontii for P.A. Leveno · 1 picture

A 1578 Milanese pamphlet by Gasparo Bugati recording the plague of 1576-1577 in Milan, printed by Pontio for Leveno and aimed at a general readership seeking news of the epidemic. The single picture is a small oval woodcut vignette of a robed woman standing in an arched interior beside a carved pedestal and a view of a distant landscape, framed by a bordered ring with lettering around its edge. A designer could take from it the compact oval medallion format, the fine parallel hatching of the robes, and the way a figure, architecture and landscape are fitted into a tight frame.
