Das vierdte Buch von der Neuwen Welt. Oder Neuwe vnd gründtliche Historien, von dem Nidergängischen Indien, so von Christophoro Columbo im Jar 1492 erstlich erfunden
A German-language 1594 volume, the fourth part of Theodor de Bry's America series, printed at Frankfurt am Main by J. Feyrabend and drawing on Girolamo Benzoni's account of the New World for a German readership. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials and head pieces, with dense, looping scrollwork around large letterforms, and a designer could borrow their interlaced ornament, figure-and-vine framing, and hand-cut contrast of solid black against open ground.
