Historia delle cose di Francia,
This is an Italian history of France printed in Venice in 1549 by Michele Tramezzino, written by Paolo Emili, who died in 1529, and held by the Boston Public Library. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a large letter framing a scene, and the four shown range from a seated figure with a clasped book beside a column to two men and a boy in a town setting, offering designers compact models for framing text with figurative ornament.
