Historia della Città e Republica di Venetia
A 1637 Venetian history of the city and republic of Venice, printed in Venice by Paolo Baglioni and written by Paolo Morosini, aimed at readers interested in the city's government and past. Its pictures are decorated woodcut initial letters with flowing acanthus-style scrollwork framing small figures, including a bearded man with wings and a seated cherub-like child, a motif a designer could adapt for ornamental capitals and borders.
