Il Tancredi : tragedia
Il Tancredi is a tragedy printed in Vicenza in 1614 by Francesco Grossi, written by Ridolfo Campeggi, count of Doza, and aimed at a literate Italian readership. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a central grotesque face flanked by scrolling figures, a symmetrical arch with a carved mask, and a row of bearded face masks, all in dense hatched black line that suits borders, headpieces, and vintage tailpieces.
