Obras varias
Obras varias is a seventeenth-century Spanish poetry collection by Gerónimo Cáncer, printed in Madrid in 1651 by Diaz de la Carrera for a literate reading public. The first picture is a modern-style line drawing of an armoured knight with a shield and a book held up beside him, while the second is a dense woodcut initial A with interlaced foliage set beside columns of Spanish type, useful for designers seeking decorative capitals and ornamental frames.
