One of the most representative titles of late eighteenth century Venetian printing, with elaborate rococo decorations. Whereas the frontispiece shows a portrait accompanied by views of Turin, Rome, Milan and Naples, the title contains a wonderfully theatrical frame of putti lifting the veil from the title. The one hundred pages of text are surrounded by a lively border animated by oriental landscapes and figures. Compositions feature vegetation, jewellery, artists’ equipment and musical

instruments, whereas the scenes at the bottom of the frame show a library, artists, putti and exotic scenes. Each border is composed as a whole, the border corresponding to the figurative scene at the bottom. The poems are by D. Florio, L. Godard, Giov. Pirani, Gir. Garuffali, A. M. Carminati, G. B. Giovio, and P. A. Novelli. Cicogna n. 2505; Morazzoni p. 270; Pettoello 436; Soranzo 3492; Lapiccirella 50; Saks 121.
