Il maritaggio delle mvse : poema drammatico

Riccio, Giovanni Giacomo · 1633 · In Venetia : Appresso il Saluadori ... · 6 pictures

A 1633 Italian dramatic poem printed in Venice by the Salvadori press, with the Getty Research Institute as contributing library; the record gives no audience, so these are likely printer's ornaments for a literary readership. The four pictures are small woodcut headpieces and an initial letter, with a central face or mask flanked by scrolling foliage and volutes, a clear design vocabulary for borders, tailpieces and monograms.
