A 1552 Venetian history of world events from 1524 to 1552, by Marco Guazzo, printed by Gabriel Giolito in Venice for a general reading public. The pictures are small woodcut and engraved ornaments: a grotesque emblem with a bird and a flaming figure, an armorial seal with a crown and motto, and a historiated initial S showing a centaur and two figures in a landscape, useful for designers seeking Renaissance woodcut framing and decorative letterforms.
