Varias antigvedades de España, Africa y otras provincias
A 1614 antiquarian treatise on Spanish, African and other provincial antiquities by Bernardo José Aldrete, printed in Antwerp by Juan Hasrey for scholarly readers. The pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a large decorated initial L, an ornate initial F, a flowing scrolled headpiece with a central urn, and a symmetrical heart-shaped tailpiece of interlaced foliage. A designer could take from them the dense black-line filigree, cross-hatched shading and vine-and-scroll structure typical of early modern letterpress decoration.
