Faenzi, Valerio · 1558 · [Venice] : Nell'Academia venetiana · 2 pictures

A 1558 Italian treatise printed in Venice by the Academia Veneziana, written by Valerio Faenzi, describing the circles, revenues and military contributions of the Holy Roman Empire, including a description of Nuremberg. The first picture is a small engraved angel blowing a trumpet with a scroll and rays behind, and the second is a marbled paper board with a coat of arms and a bookplate reading John Carter Brown, so a designer might take the radiating-line engraving and the marbled endpaper pattern as reference for ornament.

Imprint 1558
