[Triumpho del monarcha Philippo Terceiro en la felicissima entrada de Lisboa
This is a 1610 Spanish-language account of the triumphal entry of Philip III into Lisbon, printed in Lisbon by Jorge Rodrigues and associated with Quebedo and Mausinho de Quevedo. The pictures here are printed decorative initial letters and a small ornament block: a boxed letter E with dense vine and leaf scrollwork, a larger C filled with acanthus-like curls, and a rose on a thorned stem. A designer could take from them the tight, woody black-line ornament of early print, with foliage packed into a frame and letterforms built from plant growth.
