Vida de D. Ioam de Castro, quarto viso-rey da India
A 1671 Portuguese biography of João de Castro, fourth viceroy of India, written by Jacinto Freire de Andrade and printed in Lisbon by the Costa workshop for Antonio Leite. The pictures are woodcut decorations: a repeated ornamental panel of fruit garlands, cherubs and a grotesque mask, and large decorated initial letters with foliage, figures and fantastic creatures, useful for designers seeking early modern baroque-era ornament and strapwork.
