4 [MOROSINI, 5 [MANIN, Francesco.] Poesie per l’ingresso solenne di Sua Eccellenza il Signor Cavaliere Francesco Morosini alla dignità di Procuratore di S. Marco per merito. Venezia, Luigi Pavini, 1763. 4to (370 x 257mm), pp. [iv] engraved frontispiece and engraved title incorporating Morosini arms in border, 56, vere 58; all text pages surrounded by a series of twelve elaborate figurative borders by Bartolozzi, eleven engraved vignettes; original purple gilt-stamped brokatpaper boards, with the Morosini arms; corners repaired; lower board with gilt-stamped paper insert; a fine copy. The elaborate Rococo borders are composed of a mix of mythological and allegorical figures, combined with natural elements, animals, shells etc. The Morosini arms are repeatedly incorporated into the border design. Morazzoni 275; Pettoello 320. Lodovico.] Componimenti poetici per l’ingresso solenne alla dignità di Procuratore di San Marco per merito di Sua Eccellenza il Signor Lodovico Manin. [colophon:] Venezia, nella stamperia Albrizzi, (1764). 4to (372 x 255mm), pp. [iv] engraved allegorical frontispiece and title, 80, [1] imprint, with engraved portrait of Lodovico Manin, ornate printer’s device at end; 16 engraved vignettes and 40 fine borders, by F. Bartolozzi; original purple blindstamped boards, with the Manin arms to center of upper board.
One of the most lavish of commemorative books; a splendid collaboration between the generous patron of the arts Manin and his creatively lavish publisher Albrizzi. Bartolozzi partly re-used borders from the 1763 publication for the Ingresso of Gian-Francesco Pisani, but added twenty new ones, which were on an even grander scale. Just before he left Venice in 1764, Bartolozzi completed the elaborate decoration for this volume, which had been commissioned by Albrizzi. The frontispiece combines architectural and natural elements, the oval portrait of Manin is in a splendid frame with floral motifs; borders, vignettes and end-pieces are combined to make this publication the ‘ideal synthesis of Bartolozzi’s extraordinary technical and stylistic virtuosity in book decoration’ (The Glory of Venice, 245). Lodovico Manin (1726–1803) was elected Procuratore in 1764 and Doge in 1789, the last of the Republic. Lapiccirella 56; Leporace 95; Morazzoni p. 272; Pettoello 330; Soranzo 3484; Saks 123; for a full analysis see Andrew Robison (1991). .
