Epitome chileno, ideas contra la paz. Por el maestro de campo Santiago de Tesillo
This 1648 Spanish-language tract, Epitome chileno, was printed in Lima by Jorge López de Herrera and written by Santiago de Tesillo, a military officer, on the Mapuche war in Chile for a colonial readership. The pictures are plain printer's ornaments: a blackletter-style decorated initial with a bird and foliage, a dense border of interlaced scrollwork with small crosses, and a later bookplate heraldic shield with a helmet, crest and banner reading Gaudeo. A designer could draw on the tightly repeated scroll units and the rhythm of cross and foliage blocks.
