This is the verso of the title page of "Breve Relación de la Destrucción de las Indias Occidentales" (A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies) by Fray Bartolomé de las Casas. The text, printed in period typography, indicates that the work was presented to Philip II when he was Prince of Asturias and was reissued in Seville, London, Philadelphia, and Mexico by Don Mariano Ontiveros in 1822. The typographic composition, with its hierarchical arrangement of text and use of uppercase letters, is characteristic of 19th-century printing, reflecting the importance of the work and its broad dissemination.
