Il Petrarca is a 1546 Italian edition of Petrarch's poems, printed in Venice at the press of the sons of Aldus Manutius. The pictures are woodcut printer's devices, and the first two show the Aldine anchor and dolphin mark flanked by cherubs and fruit garlands, a compact model for symmetrical emblematic borders.
