Fernandez, José, 1617-1674 · 1666 · Zaragoça, D. Dormer · 1 picture

A 1666 Spanish Jesuit biography of the saint Pedro Claver, written by José Fernández and printed in Zaragoza, aimed at devotional readers, and held at the University of Toronto's Fisher library. The one picture is a bookplate, not an illustration from the text: a central engraved knight-like figure with a sword and an open book, flanked by Spanish text 'Italia-España', 'Guárdese como joya preciosa' and 'Ex-libris M. A. Buchanan' on a marbled paper ground. A designer could take its vertical bookplate layout, marbled endpaper texture and framed central emblem as a model for ornamental label design.

Claver, Pedro, Saint, 1580-1654
