La entrata che fece in Vinegia l'illvstrissimo et eccellentissimo s. dvca Alfonso II. Estense, dvca V. di Ferrara

1562 · In Venetia : Appresso Francesco Rampazetto · 4 pictures

A 1562 Venetian printed account of the state entry of Duke Alfonso II d'Este of Ferrara, published by Francesco Rampazetto in Venice. Its woodcut initials and ornamental border blocks show a lion head within an O, a ram in an M, a wolf-like beast in a P, and putti flanking a motto plate, all drawn in dense parallel-line woodcut style that suggests heraldic and emblematic borders for historical print work.
