La conquista de MeÌxico efectuada por HernaÌn CorteÌs, seguÌn el CoÌdice jerogliÌfico Troano-americano
A Spanish-language 1897 facsimile-style study published in Mexico City by Dámaso Sotomayor, reproducing pages from the Maya Codex Tro-Cortesianus to narrate the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés. The plates show reproductions of Maya hieroglyphic codex pages, framed in ruled boxes, next to small line-engraved scenes of seated figures, a serpent-like creature, and armoured Spanish soldiers. A designer might take the dense glyph grids and boxed plate layouts as models for pictographic information design and historical manuscript typography.
