Gli ingiusti sdegni. Comedia
A 1560 Italian comedy, Gli ingiusti sdegni, written by Bernardino Pino and printed in Venice by Francesco Rampazetto for a reading public. The four pictures are small woodcut historiated initials set in square or round frames, with figures on horseback, a seated figure among bricks, and putti tangled in foliage. A designer could take from them the compact, lively vocabulary of Venetian Renaissance woodcut borders and the way figures are fitted inside a letterform.
