A 1700 Italian history of Ferrara by Girolamo Baruffaldi, printed in Ferrara by Bernardino Pomatelli and later owned by John Adams, covering events from 1655 to 1700 for readers of local history. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials, each a large capital letter wrapped in scrolling acanthus leaves, stems, and flowers, with a designer able to borrow their framing vine-and-leaf structure for display lettering.
