A 1591 Latin edition printed at Frankfurt by Johann Wechel and published by Theodor de Bry, based on Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues's account of French Huguenot voyages to Florida in the 1560s, aimed at scholars and collectors of travel books. The pages show engraved plates of an ornate architectural title frame with allegorical figures, scenes of deer hunting, and small figures of native people and landscape. A designer might take the strapwork cartouches, columns with figures, and finely hatched engraving for decorative borders or period framing.
