Module 3 A Graphic Renaissance

I Love the red ink of the printers mark on this  colophon published in 1489. (title: Biblia Latina cum postillis Nicolai de Lyra et expositionibus Guillelmi Britonis in omnes prologos S. Hieronymi et additionibus Pauli Burgensis replicisque Matthiae Doering). The lines are strainght, vertical, and easy on the eyes with wide margins.
