A Treatise of Good Taste in the Art of Musick - Geminiani, Francesco 1687-1762 (London Geminiani, 1749)
contains important ideas on continuo realization
engraved frontispiece "Fame honours the Guida Armonica" by Simon François Ravenel l'Ancien (1706-1774) after Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762). Fame hovers in the air above the sea (where a boat is floating) and a beach where there is a globe, symbols of the arts (flute and score, bust, palette and brushes, compass) and a military trophy (armour, helmet, shield, sword, arrows), probably alluding to the Prince of Wales, the musician's patron.
Dedicated to his Royal Highness Frederick Prince of Wales
