  1. Diana acconcia alla venetiana — Diana with Venetian hairstyle — Habiti delle Donne Venetiane — 18

    This print depicts a young woman in the guise of Diana, goddess of the hunt, with her usual attributes: the crescent moon, an arrow, the dog, the cape to pull over the head, and a natural setting.

    Rather unusually, her hair is set in the particular Venetian style, which was in fashion in the late 1500s and early 1600s.

  5. Una che si concia con due specchi — A woman dressing her hair with two mirrors — Habiti delle Donne Venetiane — 8

    This print depicts a Venetian woman dressing her hair using two mirrors, so she can see the back too.

    The particular Venetian hairstyle with the hair set as a crescent moon, or as two horns, was popular in the later 1500s and early 1600s.

  6. Il Gran teatro di Venezia (1717) — Domenico Lovisa

    The Il Gran teatro di Venezia was published by the Venetian printer Domenico Lovisa sometimes in the 1710s or 1720s, in any case after 1715, when the application for a printing permit was made.

    The full title is a bit of a mouthful: Il Gran teatro di Venezia ovvero descrizzione esatta di cento delle più insigni prospettive, e di altretante celebri pitture della medesima città, il tutto disegnato, e intagliato eccelentemente da periti artefici, con la narrazione della fondazione delle chiese, monasteri, spedali, isolette, e altri luoghi sì pubblici, come privati ... tomi due in foglio imperiale — In Venezia : per Domenico Lovisa sotto i portici a Rialto.

  8. We went to beautiful #ComptonVerney, #Warwickshire, today to see an #exhibition of #engravings by #JohnJamesAudubon, from his book: "The #BirdsOfAmerica".

    I'd only seen two original Audubons before but today I saw 46!

    Pic 1: a detail of the heads of the osprey and a fish it's just caught

    Pic 2: a detail of an astonishing composition of Northern mockingbirds repelling a rattlesnake from their nest. 👈 This one was worth the price of admission alone.
