Cronica de la Nueua España : con la conquista de Mexico, y otras cosas notables: hechas por el valeroso Hernando Cortes, .
Printed in Zaragoza in 1554 by Agustín Millán, López de Gómara's chronicle of New Spain recounts Hernán Cortés's conquest of Mexico in dense Spanish black-letter type for a Spanish readership. The pictures are unillustrated text pages with large decorated initial letters and ornamental woodcut capitals, showing tightly set columns and marginal notes a designer could borrow for historical typography.
