Vida admirable y prodigiosas virtudes del venerable, y apostolic Padre Francisco del Castillo, de la Compañia de Jesus, natural de Lima ..
A 1693 Spanish devotional biography of the Jesuit priest Francisco del Castillo, written by Joseph de Buendia and printed in Madrid for a readership of the Catholic faithful. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut and engraved devices: a decorative initial with a leafy lion-like face, an ornamental headpiece bearing the letters JHS, and a full-length engraved portrait of a robed priest holding a palm and lily beside a distant city. A designer could draw on the bold framed initial, the scrollwork banding, and the stark tonal contrast of the early print portrait.
