Solennita celebrate in Vrbino per lo nascimento e battesimo del serenissimo prencipe
A 1606 festival account printed in Urbino by the Ragusij brothers, recording celebrations for the birth and baptism of a prince of the Della Rovere family under Duke Francesco Maria. The single picture is a woodcut initial letter, with a small child figure in a sleeved garment set in a framed panel beside a tree, a building and a distant hill. A designer could take from it the compact, naive figure drawing and the way a historic initial is built from a narrow vertical frame with scenic vignettes inside.
