A 1661 Lima printing of a viceregal decree issued by the Count of Alva de Aliste, Viceroy of Peru, on instructions from the Crown, concerning the teaching and fair treatment of Indians, and intended for colonial officials and clergy. The single picture is not an illustration but a page of dense Spanish legal type with justified columns and a few paragraph breaks, showing no figures or decoration. A designer might take from it the rhythm of closely set old typography and dense text blocks as a texture rather than a subject.
