Cavallino, Simone, 16th cent · 1589 · In Roma : Apresso Paolo Blado stampatore camerale · 2 pictures

A 1589 Roman printed record by Simone Cavallino, published by Paolo Blado, describing the festivities held in Florence in May 1589 for the wedding of Grand Duke Ferdinando I of Tuscany and Christine of Lorraine. The pictures are small black woodcut-style devices: a heraldic shield with a cardinal's hat and tassels, and a large decorative initial D set in an architectural frame with columns and arches, both suited to designers seeking Renaissance print ornament and heraldic borders.
