Comedia di Lodovico Ariosto intitolata Cassaria
A 1525 Venetian printed edition of Ariosto's comedy Cassaria, published by Nicolo Zoppino and held by the Getty Research Institute, intended for a literate Italian reading public. The single woodcut shows a bishop-like seated figure in a mitre holding a book and crozier within an arched frame, with a small monogram at the right edge; its bold black carving and framed symmetry suit designers seeking Renaissance devotional or ecclesiastical imagery with strong figure-ground contrast.
