Il libro : comedia
A 1567 Italian comedy printed in Padua by Lorenzo Pasquati, attributed to Lorenzo Selva, with a small woodcut of a standing lion holding a raised sword inside an oval frame of scrolled strapwork. The lion is a crisp, bold black-on-paper motif that a designer could adapt for a heraldic emblem, a bookplate, or a rounded badge with decorative corner ornament.
