Moreli, Juan Baptista, 1588-1658 · 1648 · En Turin : Por Iuannetin Pennoto · 5 pictures

A 1648 Spanish-language political treatise on the restoration of the Portuguese crown to King John IV, printed in Turin by Iuannetin Pennoto and written by Juan Baptista Moreli. The pictures are small printed initial letters and ornamental capitals, with three square decorative frames holding the letters P, S and Y surrounded by scrolling foliage, grotesque masks and cartouche-like borders, and a single D initial containing a landscape vignette. A designer could draw on the dense strapwork and mask motifs for framing devices, or on the compact letter-and-frame system for monogram or drop-cap work.
