Gobio, Antonio, Geffels, Frans, Ossana (Firm) · 1676 · In Mantoua : Per gli Osanna, stampatori ducali · 17 pictures

A 1676 Italian funeral description printed in Mantua by the Ossana ducal printers for Archduchess Isabella Clara of Austria, commemorating Empress Claudia Felicitas, consort of Leopold I. The pictures are four small decorative woodcut initials, letters D, E, C and D, filled with foliage, scrollwork, and small figures inside black frames. A designer could draw on their compact, rough-cut framing and the way figures sit within capital letterforms.
