A 1591 Latin account of the French attempts to settle Florida, printed at Frankfurt by Johann Wechel for Theodor de Bry and Sigmund Feyerabend, and based on the drawings of Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues for a European readership. The pictures here are woodcut decorative initials built from interlaced scrolls, leaves, and knotted foliage, with a dense, carved black-and-white texture a designer could borrow for lettering or ornamental borders.
