L'arte del cavallo is a 1696 horsemanship manual printed in Padua by the Seminary press, with text by Nicola and Luigi Santa Paulina and illustrations credited to Josef Juster and Louis Dorigny, aimed at riders and horse trainers. The pictures here are black-and-white woodcut ornaments: two symmetrical scrolling foliate panels with putti among acanthus leaves and flowers, and a decorated letter H framed by flowering stems, useful to a designer for border, initial-letter, and tooled-ornament references.
