Descripcion general del mundo, y notables sucessos dèl.
A Spanish-language general description of the world printed in Naples in 1684 by Salvador Castaldo for a broad reading public, by the Spanish writer Pedro Cubero Sebastián. The pictures are printer's ornaments: black woodcut-style strips, square panels of interlaced scrolls, leafy knotwork, and a decorated initial letter C enclosing foliage and figures, all on rough paper. A designer could borrow the modular repeat of these borders and the bold scrolled corner forms for period-style frames and dividers.
