Bril-gesicht voor de verblinde eyghen baetsuchtige handelaers op Brasil. : By forme van advijs door een lief-hebber van't vaderlandt geschreven aen synen vriendt

unknown · 1638 · [Amsterdam?] : Gedruckt na de geboorte ons Heeren en Salighmakers Jesu Christi, · 2 pictures

This is a 1638 Dutch pamphlet, probably printed in Amsterdam, addressed to merchants trading with Brazil during the Dutch conquest, and its title page in the John Carter Brown Library collection pairs a heraldic bookplate with a small woodcut ornament. The first picture is an engraved coat of arms with a crest, a dotted shield and a scroll bearing the motto, and the second is a crude woodcut head framed by scrollwork, tassels and grotesque masks, both suited to borders, armorial badges and seal-like emblems.
