Govierno general, moral, y politico. Hallado en las fieras y animales sylvestres. Sacado de sus naturales virtudes, y propiedades. Con particular table para sermones varios de tiempo y de santos

Ferrer de Valdecebro, Andrés, 1620-1680, Loriente, Thomàs · 1696 · En Barcelona, en casa de Cormellas, por Thomàs Loriente, impressor · 31 pictures

A 1696 Spanish moral treatise printed in Barcelona by Thomàs Loriente, written by Andrés Ferrer de Valdecebro, that uses wild animals and their natural properties to teach political and moral conduct, with sermon tables for preachers. The four woodcuts show animals in profile, hatched in fine parallel lines, in a plain early-modern naturalist style. A designer might take from them the simple, stiff woodcut outline and the cross-hatching used to model fur and muscle.
