The Mount of Calvarie

Guevara, Antonio de, Bp., d. 1545? · 1597 · London : Printed by Adam Islip for Edward White · 112 pictures

The Mount of Calvarie is a 1597 London devotional book by the Spanish bishop Antonio de Guevara, printed by Adam Islip for Edward White, and its pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters with dense scrolling foliage. Each capital is framed by curling vines, leaves and flowers, so a designer could borrow the ornamental capitals as a model for historical display type and border decoration.
