Dizionario delle arti e de' mestieri
Dizionario delle arti e de' mestieri is an Italian encyclopedic dictionary of crafts and trades, compiled by Francesco Griselini and Marco Fassadoni and printed in Venice in 1768 by Modesto Fenzo for a general readership of artisans and learned readers. Its pictures are small typographic pieces: a Venetian title page with a scrolled rococo cartouche, a plain text header, an ex libris roundel with a tripod vessel, and a decorative initial, offering designers period ornament, rule borders and vignette-style headers.
