Americae tertia pars is a 1592 Latin compilation issued at Frankfurt am Main by Theodor de Bry from Wechel's press, gathering accounts of Brazil by Hans Staden, Jean de Léry and Nicolas Barré for a learned European readership. The pictures here are repeated decorative initial letter I blocks, each a symmetrical woodcut of interlaced scrolls, leaves and curls set in a dark frame, offering a designer a compact model for ornamental capitals and border strapwork.
