This is a 1649 Nahuatl devotional book on the Virgin of Guadalupe, printed in Mexico City by Juan Ruiz and written by Luis Lasso de la Vega with a Nahuatl text by Antonio Valeriano, for Nahuatl-speaking readers. Its pictures are small letterpress pieces: decorative woodcut initials built from interlaced vines, leaves and curls, set beside dense black-letter columns of text, offering a designer models for ornamental capitals and historic type-and-border layouts.
