We have for sale a small lot of 7 leaves, printed in Venice in 1520 by Luc
Antonio Giunta (!) The Giuntas were among the most famous of the early
printers and noted for their superb type and style. All leaves are about 9
1/2 x 13 1/2 inches and exceptionally clean. Many have woodblock
illustrations that are hand colored (later). There are several wonderful
initials. There are faint ruled red lines that were put in to give the
feeling of a manuscript!
The leaves are for sale as a lot only. This is a good stock item if you are
doing fairs or have a shop (or if you want to make some great gifts!) Please
contact us off-list for more info.
