Discorsi sopra i dialoghi di M. Speron Sperone : ne' qvali si ragiona della bellezza & della eccellenza de lor concetti
This is a 1561 Venetian printed edition of Sperone Speroni's dialogues, issued by the Venice press of Francesco Rampazetto and kept by the Getty Research Institute. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a title-page frame of two putti holding a cartouche, and a decorated initial M with figures and scrollwork. A designer could take from them the interlaced scroll borders, cherub figures and framed cartouche layouts typical of sixteenth-century Italian title pages.
