This is a 1608 Latin edition printed at Frankfurt by Johann Wechel and published by Theodor de Bry, reporting Thomas Harriot's account of Virginia and its Algonquian inhabitants for a learned European readership. The pictures here are ornamental woodcut borders, a grotesque mask, a large initial A and a framed oval panel, which show Renaissance strapwork, scrollwork and foliage a designer could adapt for decorative frames.
