Cort, bondigh ende waerachtich verhael van't schandelijck over-geven ende verlaten vande voorname conquesten van Brasil, : onder de regeeringe vande Heeren Wouter van Schonenburgh, president, Hendrick Haecx, hoogen raet, ende Sigismondus van Schoppe, luytenant Generael over de militie, 1654
A short 1655 Dutch pamphlet printed at Middelburg by Thomas Dircksz van Brouwershaven, giving a concise account of the surrender and abandonment of the Dutch conquests in Brazil under the 1654 administration. The two pictures are black-letter printer's ornaments: a carved strapwork cartouche flanked by cherubs above rococo-like scrollwork, and a decorated initial G with foliate vines framing a letter, set beside dense Dutch text. A designer could take from them the dense, heavy-black forms of seventeenth-century Dutch typographic ornament, useful for cartouches, initials, and borders.
