Title page of a 1625 book, ‘Justini ex Trogo Pompeio Historia,’ printed in Venice. The page features the title in large, bold letters and an ornate printer’s device resembling the Officina Plantiniana mark, used deceptively to mimic Antwerp’s famous printing house. Handwritten notes are visible in the margins.
