6 [GRATAROL, 7 [JOSEPH 8 DALLE Pietro Antonio.] Al magnifico D. Giovanni Colombo Cav. Cancellier Grande della Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia gratulazione di Pier Antonio Gratarol, Segretario Veneto. Venezia, Giambattista Albrizzi, 1766. 4to (288 x 215mm), pp. [iv] initial blank and engraved frontispiece by G. Volpato after A. Novelli, 30, [2] blank, engraved title vignette and three vignettes in the text; contemporary pale grey-green pattern paper boards; a fine copy from the Rava collection, and with bookplate from the family Morosini del Pestrino. The engraved allegorical frontispiece is by Novelli and incorporates a portrait of Columbus and views of London, Turin, Milan, Genua, Aira and Coimbra. At the beginning of the text is a large engraved shield, held by the Venetian Lion. The painter, draughtsman and printmaker Pietro Antonio Novelli (1729–1803) trained with Pittoni, but was influenced mostly by Guardi and Amigoni, Diziani and Tiepolo. Stylistically he began in the Rococo style, but later became closer to the neo-classical mode. Morazzoni described him as the most fertile and elegant illustrator of his time. Morazzoni 266; Pettoello 339; Lapiccirella 43. II of AUSTRIA.] La Reggia di Calipso cantata a sette voci. [colophon:] Venezia, nella stamperia Albriziana, 1769. 4to (290 x 215mm), pp. [xvi], elaborate engraved title within decorative borders, printed throughout within fourteen Rococo borders, and four engraved vignettes; short lower margin, just touching border in three instances, very faint damp-stain to upper margin; contemporary marbled paper boards. Opera libretto with music by Ferdinando Bertoni, a maestro at the Conservatorio of San Lazzaro e Mendicanti, to celebrate the arrival in Venice of Joseph II of Austria. The title border was etched by Bartolozzi (ca 1763); the title and vignette were printed from another copperplate inserted into the border. Morazzoni p. 271; Pettoello 504; Leporace 65. LASTE NATALE. De Jo. Hieronymo Zuccato equite ac Venetae Reipublicae magno Cancellario oratio Natalis Lastesii. Venezia, ex typographia Albritiana, 1772. 4to (340 x 238mm), pp. 17, with 3 engraved vignettes and one large engraved initial; original purple paper boards, with arms of the Zuccato family within decorative border printed in dark purple to upper cover, lower cover with arms of Venice; a fine copy from the Biblioteca Benedetto Marchese Polesini, Parenzo, with book label to front paste-down and stamp to blank margin of title; title page a little dust-soiled. A perfectly balanced production, combining restrained engraved armorial vignettes, with charming decorative initials and elegantly printed text. A perfect example of the editorial practice of Albrizzi (Pettoello 358). Morazzoni 283; Pettoello 358; Saks 135.
