Tragedia di messer Giovanni Rvscellai patritio fiorentino, intitolata Rosmvnda
A 1530 Venetian printing of Giovanni Rucellai's tragedy Rosmunda, published by Nicolò d'Aristotile, called Zoppino, and attributed here to Hans Holbein, with the Getty Research Institute holding this copy. The picture is a title page: a large woodcut frame of classical pilasters, putti and foliage enclosing the title set in roman capitals with the date MDXXX below. A designer might take from it the way a centred block of capitals sits inside an ornate architectural border, a model for dignified Renaissance title typography.
