Torres Pezellín, José de · 1682 · Con Licencia, Impresso en la Puebla de los Angeles, : En la imprenta de la viuda de Juan de Borja, y Gandia. · 6 pictures

A 1682 sermon printed in Puebla de los Angeles, Mexico, at the press of the widow of Juan de Borja y Gandia, by the Franciscan preacher José de Torres Pezellín, addressed to a religious audience. Its pages are dense Spanish text set beside decorated woodcut initials, which are the illustrations: large letters framed by stylised leaves, flowers and acanthus scrolls in heavy black ink. A designer could draw on these carved capitals for hand-cut lettering, drop caps, or ornamental letterforms with botanical borders.
