Il diario di un primo attore della Compagnia Reale Sarda
An Italian book from 1899 published in Turin by the Archivio tipografico, edited by Giuseppe Deabate and Eduardo Cotti, recording the diary of a leading actor of the Compagnia Reale Sarda, the Sardinian royal theatre company. The first picture is a stylised red floral ornament with flowing curved stems, the second is a Art Nouveau wedding title page with a pair of figures in a circular frame and lily motifs, and the third is a soft crayon-like portrait of a man with curled hair and a cravat. A designer might borrow the Art Nouveau framing, lily ornament, and sepia portrait tonality for period-styled work.
