Argentina y conquista del Rio de la Plata, : con otros acaecimientos de los reynos del Peru, Tucuman, y estado del Brasil,
Argentina y conquista del Rio de la Plata is a 1602 Lisbon printing of an epic poem by Martín del Barco Centenera, issued by Pedro Crasbeeck for Spanish-reading readers interested in the early conquest of South America. The single picture is a printed Spanish verse set inside an ornamental border of scrolling fleurons and leafy corner pieces, showing how text and decoration were combined on early modern title and frontispiece pages. A designer could take from it the framing of a short poem by a dense, symmetrical border of cast type ornaments.
