Chronica de la Prouincia de S. Antonio de los Charcas del Orden de n[uest]ro seraphico P.S. Francisco en las Indias Occidentales reyno del Peru
A 1665 Franciscan chronicle of the Province of San Antonio de los Charcas in Peru, printed in Madrid and written by Diego de Mendoza for members of the Franciscan order. The four pictures are near-identical woodcut vignettes of a flower-filled urn, with tulip-like blooms, rosettes and buds spread across a branching arrangement above scrolled handles and a footed base. A designer could take from them the compact symmetrical fan-shaped bouquet, a repeatable motif for borders, headers or ornamental panels in a period style.
