A 1660 Lisbon printing by Francisco Manuel de Mello, dedicated to King Afonso VI, collecting five historical accounts of Portuguese events in Portuguese. The first picture is a title page with a large capitalised heading reading Naufragio da Armada Portugueza, set in heavy roman type over faint background text. The second is an opening page with a decorated woodcut initial letter beside dense black-letter-style body text, showing how an ornamental capital can anchor a block of running text for a designer's layout.
