Le bravvre del capitano Spauento : divise in molti ragionamenti in forma di dialogo
Le bravure del capitano Spavento is a 1615 Venetian printed dialogue collection by Francesco Andreini, the commedia dell'arte actor, issued by the Venice press of Vicenzo Somasco and aimed at readers of Italian comic theatre. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, a cut-out letter C, T, H and D, framed in square blocks with dense leafy scrollwork, which a designer could draw on for compact headers, drop caps or ornamental letterforms in an early modern style.
