Tractado delas drogas, y medicinas de las Indias Orientales
A 1578 Spanish treatise on drugs and medicines of the East Indies by Cristóbal Acosta, printed in Burgos by Martin de Victoria for a learned readership of physicians and merchants. The pictures are woodcut decorated initials, some with foliage, grotesque figures and animals, set beside dense black-letter Spanish text, offering designers examples of ornamental capitals and tightly set typographic columns.
