A 1593 Venetian treatise on meat carving by Vincenzo Cervio, revised by the carver Fusoritto da Narni for readers of the Italian kitchen and household. Its woodcuts are small ornamental pieces: cartouches with scrolls, grotesque masks and swags, and a historiated initial P with a seated figure, which a designer could borrow for decorative frames, mastheads and capital letters.
