Il Cambio di Perugia; considerazioni storico-artistiche

Marchesi, Raffaello, 1810-1871 · 1854 · Prato, Tip. F. Alberghetti · 10 pictures

Il Cambio di Perugia is an 1854 Italian art-historical study by Raffaello Marchesi, printed in Prato, examining the Collegio del Cambio in Perugia and its painted decoration by Perugino. The pictures are ornamental typographic headers and dividers in pen-and-ink flourish style, with scrolling C-curves, acanthus-like swirls, and symmetrical leafy borders framing printed Italian titles; a designer could take from them a model for symmetrical scroll ornament and centred title cartouches.
