Fernández, Don Luis, Imprenta de Blas Roman, de la Cruz, Juan · 1778 · 1 picture

A Spanish technical manual on the art of dyeing, written by Luis Fern\u00e1ndez and printed by Blas Rom\u00e1n in Madrid in 1778 with copperplates by Juan de la Cruz, addressed to dyers and the guild trades of the capital. The page shown here is letterpress plate-description text, with a centred "L\u00c1MINA XIII" heading, italic figure-by-figure captions, rule-thin spacing and a catchword at the foot \u2014 useful as a model of eighteenth-century Spanish typography and caption layout.
