Apparato della festività del glorioso S. Giouan Battista : fatto dal fedelisimo popolo napolitano nella venuta dell'Eccellenza del sig. d. Antonio Aluarez di Toledo, vicere nel regno
A 1623 Neapolitan printed account by Giulio Cesare Capaccio, published in Naples by Giovanni Domenico Roncagliolo, describing the festivities for St John the Baptist's day held by the Neapolitan people for the arrival of viceroy Antonio Alvarez de Toledo. The four pictures here are woodcut decorative initials, a grotesque figure panel and an engraved heraldic coat of arms with banners, showing the flourishes of early seventeenth-century Italian print ornament that a designer might borrow for lettering or frames.
