Primera parte de Gvzman de Alfarache is a Spanish picaresque novel by Mateo Alemán, with Francisco de Rojas credited, printed in Madrid in 1600 at the house of Varez de Castro for a general reading public. Its pictures are small decorative woodcut initials: the letter E in ornate frames of foliage, scrollwork and grotesque birds, a D with a seated figure beside a building, and an N set in dense interlaced vine ornament, useful to a designer seeking historic letterforms, border ornament and framing devices.
