Sigüenza y Góngora, Carlos de, 1645-1700 · 1691 · En Mexico : Por los herederos de la viuda de Bernardo Calderon · 7 pictures

A 1691 Spanish-language printed account by Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, published in Mexico City by the heirs of the widow of Bernardo Calderón, recounting a Spanish naval victory over French privateers off Hispaniola for a colonial Mexican readership. The pictures are letterpress details: large decorative woodcut initial letters with foliate scrollwork, set against dense black-letter-like Spanish text, and a head-and-foliage ornament whose bearded figure amid scrolls offers a model for symmetrical border design.
