La pace : comedia non meno piacevole che ridicolosa
A 1592 Italian comedy, La pace, written by the sixteenth-century author Marino Negro and printed in Venice by Gio. Antonio Zuliani and Vergilio Cerutto for a general reading audience. The three pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters: an H framed with a rooster and grotesque mask, an H enclosing a reclining figure and a distant landscape, and an A ringed with birds and scrollwork, useful to a designer seeking Renaissance letterforms with figurative borders.
