Morning Modelbuch (7/12/2018)

Cesare Vecellio’s modelbucher _Corona delle Virtuous Donne_ books 1-4 (dated 1596-1601) have more editions and more copies sold than any other. Vinciolo was popular (and I’m more familiar with him because the Dover edition is more accessible to modern audiences,) but Vecellio beat him out. I haven’t spent nearly enough time in them. So I figured we’d start with some amazing animals. Hunting cats and goofy squirrels. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10537221d/f93.item
