A 1612 London edition, printed for Thomas Adams, of Peter Martyr d'Anghiera's early account of Spanish conquest in the West Indies, translated and expanded by Richard Eden and Michael Lok for an English readership. The pictures are the book's decorative woodcut initial letters, each a large capital set inside a border of foliage, flowers and berries, with a few plant-spray designs that a designer could adapt for historical display type or border work.
