A 1650 Madrid genealogy printed by Juan Martín de Barrio, written by Rodrigo Méndez Silva and dedicated to King Felipe IV, tracing the noble Valdés family and its service to the Spanish crown. The pictures are small letterpress pieces: woodcut historiated initials framed in fruit, leaf and tendril borders, plus an engraved heraldic shield with a crown and a foliate cartouche, all useful for decorative capitals and heraldic emblems.
