Corona della nobiltà d'Italia, ouero, Compendio dell' istorie delle famiglie illustri
A 1639 Italian genealogical compendium on the nobility of Italy, written by Giovanni Pietro de' Crescenzi Romani and Giovanni Battista Coriolano and printed in Bologna by Nicolò Tebaldini for the heirs of Dozza. The single picture is a small woodcut tailpiece showing a decorative urn with spiral scroll handles, a banded body with a shield-like panel, and a sprig of leaves rising from the lid. Its bold black linework and compact symmetrical ornament suit designers seeking early modern printer's ornaments for borders, dividers, or heraldic-style emblems.
