Spain · 1544 · Fueron impressas estas leyes en la villa de Alcala de Henares, : En casa de Joan de Brocar. · 2 pictures

A 1544 Spanish legal pamphlet printed by Joan de Brocar at Alcalá de Henares, collecting royal laws issued under Emperor Charles V and Queen Juana for official publication. The two pages show dense black-letter text in a single column, opening with a large decorated initial letter O containing a figure with foliage and a small ornamental border of scrolls and vines beneath the heading. A designer could draw on the pairing of a hefty historic display capital with tightly set blackletter columns and sparse hand-cut flourishes for period typography.
