Origini Italiche O Siano Memorie Istorico-Etrusche Sopra L'Antichissimo Regno D'Italia, E Sopra I Di Lei Primi Abitatori Nei Secoli Più Remoti
Origini Italiche is a 1772 Italian antiquarian history of early Italy and its Etruscan past, written by Mario Guarnacci and drawn from a Heidelberg University Library copy with Cicognara's Parte Seconda on Etruscan and Italic antiquities. The pictures are printed ornamental headpieces and tailpieces in woodcut style, with scrolled acanthus cartouches framing a central basket of fruit and flowers, and a designer could take their symmetrical Rococo framing and botanical detail as a reference for decorative borders.
