Los hercules seraphicos. : Excellentissimos señores Condes de Chinchon; patronos de toda la orden de S. Francisco. Sermon que en el convento de Victoria, en las exequias, que todos los capitulos generales, la orden de S. Francisco hazerlos acostumbra; concluyendo la funcion con la celebracion de sus honras.
A Spanish funeral sermon printed in Mexico in 1696 by Juan de Avila for the Franciscan order, honouring the Count of Chinchon and other patrons. The two pictures are a heraldic coat of arms with scrolling mantling and a looping calligraphic ornament set into the text, both in a plain engraved style. A designer could take from them the restrained vocabulary of crests, flourishes and printed ornament used in colonial Spanish-American print.
