Scena letteraria de gli scrittori bergamaschi aperta alla cvriosità de svoi concittadini ..
A 1664 Italian bibliographical work by Donato Calvi, printed in Bergamo for the heirs of Marc' Antonio Rossi, cataloguing writers from Bergamo for their fellow citizens. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials, a large letter F and a letter C, each framed by stylised flowers, leaves and rosettes in bold black-and-white line. A designer could draw on their dense botanical borders and high-contrast letterforms for historical ornament or pattern work.
