De spectaculis theatralibus : christiano cuique tum laico, tum clerico vetitis dissertationes duae : accedit dissertatio tertia De presbyteris personatis
An 1752 Latin treatise on theatre by the Dominican Daniele Concina, printed in Rome for a clerical and lay readership that the title says is forbidden to attend stage spectacles. The picture is a title page with a dedication block to Andrea Majoral, an ornamented initial and dense black-letter type, offering a designer little beyond the sober typographic hierarchy of eighteenth-century Roman printing: centred lines of capitals, small-caps rules and a woodcut-style initial.
