Description de la Louisiane, : nouvellement decouverte au sud'oüest de la Nouvelle France, par ordre du roy. Avec la carte du pays: les moeurs & la maniere de vivre des sauvages.
Hennepin's 1688 Paris account of Louisiana, published by Amable Auroy for a French readership, describes the region's territory and the customs of its Indigenous peoples. Its pictures are small woodcut tailpieces and headpieces: three near-identical strips of cupids with a column, a magnifying glass and a sphere, plus a scrolled ornament with curling acanthus and dragon-like heads, all useful as compact decorative borders and vignettes for period-styled layouts.
