Lettere di principi is a 1564 Venetian collection of Italian letters to, from and about princes, printed by Giordano Ziletti and later owned by John Adams. The four pictured initials are ornamental woodcut capitals in framed square panels with interlaced foliage, scrolls and strapwork, useful to a designer seeking decorative letterforms for period typography.
