Americae pars quinta is a 1595 Frankfurt book published by Theodor de Bry, combining Girolamo Benzoni's account of the Spanish conquests with Urbain Chauveton's Latin translation for a Latin-reading European audience. The four pictures are horizontal decorative headpieces of interlaced scrollwork, grotesque masks, and winged figures framing a central cartouche, a strip format a designer could borrow for borders or panels.
