A Latin account of Virginia printed at Frankfurt in 1608 by Johann Wechel for Theodor de Bry, compiled from Thomas Harriot's report and John White's drawings of the English colony sent out under Richard Grenville and Walter Raleigh. The four pictures are repeated strapwork-and-scroll ornamental bands, dense with interlaced foliage, grotesque figures and birds cut in black lines, and a designer could take from them a model for dense Renaissance border ornament.
