Transcript

Park Lodge SW19
Tuesday

Do you know a representation of a printing press in an engraved title-border by F. Vallegio? I dont know for what book the border was made but it was used for an ed. of Bonarelli’s Filli di Sciro, n.p. 1607 or later. It is of course very late & the drawing is very bad, but so far as I can see from Madan’s list it is the earliest Italian example.
