A Latin edition of 1597 published in Frankfurt by Theodor de Bry, gathering the Brazilian travel accounts of Hans Staden and Jean de Léry and a description of the natives' customs, written for a learned European readership. The four pictures are the same kind of decorative strapwork border, a dense scroll of acanthus leaves, rosettes and grotesque masks, with the lower frames showing putti and a central face, which a designer could use as a model for ornamental bands, frames or headpieces.
