Rea, Alonso de la · 1643 · En Mexico, : Por la viuda de Bernardo Calderon · 5 pictures

A 1643 Franciscan chronicle printed in Mexico City by the widow of Bernardo Calderón, recording the Order of Saint Francis in the Province of Michoacán in New Spain and written for a religious readership. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments and type-like initials: a dense symmetrical cartouche of scrolls and interlace, a framed emblem with a cross, skull and bones, and a bold capital-letter display word, which suggest strong black-and-white ornament for border or title design.
