This 1591 German-language book, printed in Frankfurt am Main by Johann Feyerabendt for Theodor de Bry, reports three French voyages to Florida in 1564, 1565 and 1567, with engravings after drawings by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues. Its horizontal woodcut-style strips show a decorative scrolled frame enclosing scenes of Native Americans in forest settings, including a figure with a chest and a group gathered around a fire or tree, which a designer might take as a model for narrative friezes, ornamental cartouches and banded borders.
