Schmidel, Ulrich, approximately 1505-approximately 1581, Bry, Theodor de, 1528-1598 · 1617 · [Oppenheim] : Gedruckt bey Hieronymo Gallern · 2 pictures

A 1617 German account of Indian lands and islands in the Americas, compiled from the travels of Ulrich Schmidel and published at Oppenheim by Hieronymus Galler, part of Theodor de Bry's series of voyages. The pictures here are a dense block of black-letter German text and an ornate black scrollwork cartouche with a central face, showing how early printers framed type with decorative flourishes a designer could borrow for headers or panels.
