Series of Cartouches, in: Targhe ed altri ornati di varie e capricciose invenzioni (Cartouches and other ornaments of various and capricious invention, page 53)
Page from an album with 54 prints, 40 of which come from a series published by Carlo Losi in Rome in 1773. For some reason often overlooked, these prints actually reproduce16th-century designs attributed to the enigmatic French artist Georges Reverdy and the better-known Netherlandish artist Jacob Floris. All copies are in reverse. In some cases they are combined with the originals in this album. Several pages in the album are empty, indicating that some prints may have been taken out at some point.
