Le bravvre del capitano Spavento is a 1618 Italian dialogue book by Francesco Andreini, printed in Venice by V. Somasco for readers of the commedia dell'arte stage. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and headpieces, with a large letter framed in interlaced scrollwork, foliage and leaf ornament, and a few circular or square frames with curling vines; a designer could borrow their compact, ornamental letter frames for historical display type or chapter openers.
