Antonio Basoli's decorative alphabet from 1839 and its scanned illustrations. (I recommend to browse the entire "Giornale Nuovo" site.)

Amazing! How do you find this stuff?!?

Yesterday I was browsing through some cool books sites and blogs I knew and I saw the link for "Giornale Nuovo" on one of them (I can't remember which one it was.)

very very very cool
thanks

You're welcome, glad you liked it.
