Summary
Bound volume containing 22 of 24 designs for cartouches and wall decorations by Agostino Mitelli, from the first edition published by Agostino Parisini (Bologna, 1636). Interleaved are 16 additional prints from the second of two copied Paris editions, published by Claude Roussel. It is undated but subsequent to the first Paris edition of Pierre II Mariette (approximately 1655-57). See Fuhring. As the Roussel edition is printed on paper bearing watermarks of Thomas Dupuy, it probably appeared before Dupuy's death in 1731.
