A 1647 Venetian printed book, Le glorie de gli incogniti, by Giovanni Francesco Loredano and Girolamo Brusoni, portraying the illustrious members of the Accademia degli Incogniti for a learned Italian readership. The pictures are four woodcut decorative initials, each a large capital letter framed in a square of interlaced acanthus scrolls, foliage and flowers, with dense hatched shading that a designer could adapt for borders, drop caps or monogram work.
