Collector's Notes:
A much brighter example of this same pattern (a fragment not associated with any dated imprint) is described in The MET Collection as an "Anonymous, 19th century" production (Object Number: 26.71.9(52)). The keyblock, printed here in black, is reproduced in the c. 1927 Rizzi Sample Book in three different colors (#547–549), suggesting an original Remondini pattern.
