Harlequin, Scaramouch, Pantalone, and other beloved figures from the Commedia dell'Arte grace the pages of this delightful work. These magnificent 103 black-and-white engravings were originally published in 1716 in Nuremberg. Little is known of the author, save that he was a Venetian ballet master — his work bespeaks his prodigious gifts of imagination and creativity.
