Morando, Bernardo, 1589-1656, Piccini, Giacomo, ca. 1617-ca. 1669 · 1662 · Piacenza : Nella stampa ducale di Gio. Bazachi · 17 pictures

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.
