Lusitania restaurada : dirigida a seu restaurador el Rey Dom Ioaõ o quarto nosso senhor
Lusitania restaurada is a 1641 Portuguese book by Vicente de Gusmão Soares, printed in Lisbon by Lourenço de Anveres and dedicated to King John IV. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters D, N, E and R, each framed by stylised leaves, flowers and a small vase or planter. A designer could take from them the dense foliage-framed capitals of seventeenth-century Portuguese print, useful for borders, monograms and historical lettering.
