Rime
A sixteenth-century Italian poetry collection, Bernardo Cappello's Rime edited by Dionigi Atanagi, printed in Venice in 1560 by the Guerra brothers. The one picture is a printer's device: an eagle with spread wings rising through falling feathers beneath a radiant sun and a scroll bearing the Latin motto 'Renovata juventus'. A designer could take from it the emblem format of a central figure, a motto banner, and a sunburst above, a compact symbolic layout for a logo or badge.
