This intricate woodcut by Christoph Krieger is the title page for Cesare Vecellio's 1598 book, "Habiti Antichi, et Moderni di tutto il Mondo." The title page is a decorative piece of Renaissance art featuring a swirling baroque design. The text describes the book as containing illustrations of both ancient and modern clothing from around the globe. It is a beautiful example of typographic design, with a central oval containing the book's title and author, framed by decorative figures of allegorical figures representing the continents.
