Sermoens do P. Antonio Vieyra, da Companhia de Jesu, prègador de Sua Magestade. Undecima parte
A Portuguese sermon collection by Jesuit preacher António Vieira, printed in Lisbon in 1696 by Miguel Deslandes for the royal court and preserved at the John Carter Brown Library. Its ornaments are small woodcut headpieces of flower vases, fruit bowls and floral sprays, cut in bold black line with hatched shading. A designer could take from them the compact, symmetrical vessel-and-bouquet arrangement and the strong contrast of solid black silhouettes against the pale paper.
