Indice del libro intitolato Parnaso de' pittori : in cui si contengono varj disegni originali raccolti in Roma da S.R
An 1787 index to the Parnaso de' pittori, a collection of original Italian painters' drawings gathered in Rome, printed in Perugia by Carlo Baduel for readers of Italian painting. Its three pictures are woodcut head-pieces: two horizontal bands of scrolling acanthus and foliate ornament, and a shield-shaped cartouche showing a seated painter at an easel beside a classical figure with a staff, surrounded by palette, brushes and tools. A designer could take the acanthus scrollwork as a border or divider model and the cartouche as a framed emblem for an arts or library title.
