A 1553 Spanish chronicle of the conquest of Mexico by Francisco López de Gómara, printed at Medina del Campo for a Spanish readership and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The first picture is a bookplate with an engraved heraldic achievement and the name John Carter Brown beneath it, set on a marbled red and green paper ground; the second is a title page with a coat of arms flanked by two classical columns in woodcut, printed in black letter and roman capitals, which suggests strong symmetrical layouts, heraldic emblems and dense typographic blocks for a designer.
