Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueua España.
A 1632 Madrid edition of Bernal Díaz del Castillo's account of the Spanish conquest of New Spain, printed for the Kingdom's press and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The engraved title page is framed by a classical architectural arch with flanking columns, an armoured soldier on the left and a robed friar on the right, with a coat of arms crowning the top, and a cartouche with lettering below. A designer might take its symmetrical architectural framing, emblematic cartouches, and the pairing of military and clerical figures as a model for baroque title-page layout.
