Giovio, Paolo, 1483-1552 · 1553 · Cʹaragoca : En casa de Esteuban. G. de Nagera · 2 pictures

A 1553 Spanish-language life of the military commander Gonzalo Hernández de Córdoba, called El Gran Capitán, written by the Italian historian Paolo Giovio and printed in Zaragoza. The book is a biography for a readership of Spanish readers and the court. Its two pictures are matching woodcut frames around an oval bust portrait of the commander in a cap and armour, with the title lettering set below; the strapwork and grotesque border ornament could suggest decorative frames for a designer.
