Verona Illustrata: Contiene L'Istoria Della Città E Insieme Dell'Antica Venezia: Dall'Origine Fino Alla Venuta In Italia Di Carlo Magno
Verona Illustrata is a 1732 Italian historical work on the city of Verona and ancient Venice, written by Scipione Maffei and edited by Jacopo Vallarsi and Pierantonio Berno, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are small woodcut-style printer's ornaments: a trophy of flags, cannon, drums and armour, and a scrolled cartouche with foliage and tassels. A designer could take from them the compact, symmetrical arrangement typical of early eighteenth-century Italian print decoration.
