Alemán, Mateo, 1547-1614? · 1613 · En Mexico : En la enprenta de la viuda de Pedro Balli. Por C. Adriano Cesar. · 5 pictures

A 1613 Spanish-language account of the life and governance of García Guerra, archbishop of Mexico, printed in Mexico City at the press of the widow of Pedro Balli and attributed to Mateo Alemán. The pictures are small printed ornaments: decorative initial letters with grotesque faces, scrolled cartouches, and a framed portrait of a bearded man in a ruff, showing how early colonial printers framed text with carved woodblock borders a designer could borrow for headers or capitals.
