The highly ornamented first gondola of Francesco Antonio Berka entering Venice, Gods on clouds in the sky — Johann Georg Wolfgang|Liberal Benaglia

Liberal Benaglia was responsible for the design of the gondola. It is not certain if he provided the design for the print, but it is possible. The other name on the print 'Fratres Strud' cannot at this time be identified, but refers to a religious order (Brothers) who were involved in either the ceremony or the prints.
