Dolce, Lodovico, 1508-1568 · 1549 · In Vinegia, : appresso i figliuoli d'Aldo · 2 pictures

Giocasta is a 1549 Italian tragedy by Lodovico Dolce, printed in Venice by the heirs of Aldus Manutius for a literate reading public. Both pictures are the same woodcut printer's device: a winged sea-serpent-entwined anchor flanked by two putti, with the inscription ALDI FILII between them, reproduced at nearly identical scale.
