Villavicencio, Diego Jaime Ricardo, León, Nicolás, 1859-1929. fmo RPJCB · 1692 · Con licencia en la Puebla de los Angeles : en la Imprenta de Diego Fernandez de Leon · 2 pictures

A 1692 Spanish-language Catholic confession manual printed in Puebla de los Angeles, Mexico, by Diego Fernandez de Leon, written by Diego Jaime Ricardo Villavicencio for priests hearing confessions among Indigenous Mexican communities. The pictures are small crude woodcut devices: a heraldic cartouche with a crown, stars and a crescent framed by a dense ornamental border, and a crucifixion scene with the Virgin and a saint beneath the Latin inscription 'Ego Sum Lux Mundi'. A designer could draw on the compact, repeating border strips and the stiff, hand-cut figure style of colonial Mexican print.
