Opere del conte Bernardo Morando, nobile genovese, diuise in quattro tomi ..
A 1662 Italian collected works of the Genoese count Bernardo Morando, printed in Piacenza by the ducal press of Gio. Bazachi and edited by Giacomo Piccini for a literate readership. The pictures are decorative historiated initials, each a large letter wreathed in dense woodcut acanthus scrolls and leaves, with a small floral sprig among them, all in heavy black linework on cream paper that a designer could adapt for capitals, monograms or borders.
