Giro del mondo is a 1699 Neapolitan travel account by Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri, printed at Naples by Giuseppe Roselli for a readership of armchair voyagers. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative pieces: a scrolling acanthus strip with putti, a square initial letter S set among foliage, a symmetrical panel with winged figures and beasts, and an N framed by flowers and a mask, useful to a designer for historic ornament and initial capitals.
