A 1552 Venetian miscellany of verse, dialogues, tales and fables by Ortensio Landi, printed by Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari and brothers for Italian readers interested in love and the vernacular. The four pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a large letter framing a figure: a man with a staff beside a crossed pole, a hairy wild man climbing across the letter N, a grotesque creature amid scrolling foliage in the P, and a seated figure with a bird in the F. A designer could take from them the dense hatched backgrounds and the way figures are tucked into the letterforms.
