Transito gloriosissimo de N. Sra. la Santissima Virgen Maria.
A devotional text printed in Mexico in 1694 by Pedro Antonio de Aguirre on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, meant for Spanish-speaking readers of the colonial church. The three pictures are typographic ornaments: a large decorated initial O beside columns of Spanish text, a repeated band of small black cartouches with a central cross, and a heraldic coat of arms with scrolls and a banner reading GUIDED. A designer might borrow the ornate initial letter, the rhythmic border band, or the scrolled heraldic frame for period-style headers and emblems.
