Cicero, Marcus Tullius · 1519 · Venetiis : in aedibus Aldi, et Andreae soceri · 1 picture

This 1519 Venetian printing, issued from the Aldine press with Andrea Torresano, gathers Cicero's Latin treatises on duties, old age and friendship together with the Dream of Scipio for scholars and students of classical Latin. Its single picture is a woodcut of an anchor entwined by a dolphin, the Aldine device, printed on a worn cream page with the letters A and V flanking the shank, a mark a designer could borrow for an emblem about steadiness and swift action.
