Relation de l'inquisition de Goa
Dellon's 1688 Paris account of the Goa Inquisition, printed by Daniel Horthemels for a French readership, is a plain text book with no figurative pictures. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, square blocks of interlaced foliage, scrolls and single letters set beside the opening lines of each paragraph, which a designer might borrow as compact framed capitals or ornament for decorative drop caps.
