Le origini di Padoua
Le origini di Padoua is a 1625 Italian history of the city of Padua by the antiquarian Lorenzo Pignoria, printed there by Pietro Paolo Tozzi for scholarly readers. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcuts: a classical-style figure pairing and decorative historiated initials, plus a profile portrait medallion, offering a designer ready models for early-modern ornament and antique-style framing.
