Capaccio, Ignatio · 1697 · Nap[oli] Stamperia di Porpora e Troyse, A spese di C. Troyse · 2 pictures

Il fingere per vincere is a 1697 Neapolitan opera scenica by Ignatio Capaccio, printed in Naples by the Porpora and Troyse press at the expense of C. Troyse. The two pictures are small printed ornaments: a decorative woodcut initial D with twisting foliage and flowers filling its strokes, and a woodcut basket of flowers and fruit woven in cross-hatching, which a designer could adapt for borders, drop caps, or botanical motifs.
