Libro donde se asientan los que se mueren en este pueblo de Tepexic desde marc̦o de 1605 en adelante
A Spanish-language register of deaths kept from 1605 for the town of Tepexic, a parish record of the sort kept by colonial church officials in New Spain. The picture is a photograph of a closed volume in black leather binding with a gilt-stamped spine label and a small gilt device, showing the book as an object rather than its text. A designer might take the dark tooled leather and gold lettering on the spine as a model for classic archival binding.
