This is a 1539 Venetian printed commentary by Galeazzo Flavio Capra on the restoration of Francesco II Sforza, Duke of Milan, issued by the Giolito press for a readership of Italian humanist and political readers. The one picture is a woodcut emblem of a phoenix rising from flames, set within a scroll inscribed with letters and a sunburst above, a compact device a designer could adapt for printed marks or heraldic-style vignettes.
