Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
A collected edition of works by the Italian scholar Lodovico Antonio Muratori, printed in 1767 and held by Heidelberg University Library, with a part devoted to general antiquities. The four pictures are decorative printers' ornaments of the eighteenth-century Italian kind: a cartouche with an urn and tools, a foliate strip with a central roundel, a band of putti and scrolls, and a rococo frame with a flower basket. Designers could draw on their flowing acanthus scrollwork, cartouche framing and putto motifs for period borders and title pages.
