A Spanish Catholic doctrinal treatise by Jean Gerson, printed in Mexico City in 1544 by Juan Cromberger at the command of Bishop Juan de Zumárraga, intended as a practical guide for all readers in Christian doctrine. The page shows a woodcut of the Annunciation-style scene with Latin text beneath, set in a bold black-letter frame. A designer might take from it the dense, hand-cut woodcut line work, the framed text-and-image layout, and the early colonial print character of the Spanish-language page.
