This image of the Virgin investing Saint Alphonso with the chasuble was the first full-page woodcut printed in a book in the Americas by the first printer in Mexico, Juan Pablos. The book was Juan Gerson’s Tripartito del Christianissimo (1544). The original block was probably carved in Iberia. It was reproduced in a reduced size from Printing in Spanish Colonial America, by Hensley Woodbridge and Lawrence Thomson, 1976. (Palace Press collection)
