De ora antarctica per regem Portugallie pridem inuenta
A 1505 Latin pamphlet printed at Strasbourg by Mathias Hupfuff, describing voyages to the southern lands attributed to Amerigo Vespucci and edited by Lorenzo de' Medici, aimed at humanist scholars and readers of geographic news. Its title page carries two crude woodcuts: the upper shows three figures in close combat with clubs, and the lower shows small ships on water near a rocky shore, a plain record of early exploration imagery usable for primitive and nautical motifs.
