Angliara, Juan de, Anghiera, Pietro Martire d', 1457-1526 · 1520 · [Augburg: Jörg Nadler] · 1 picture

This is a 1520 German printed voyage account, published in Augsburg by Jörg Nadler and attributed to Pietro Martire d'Anghiera, describing a supposed island discovered for the Spanish crown and offered to a general readership. The single picture is a woodcut-style heraldic achievement: a crested helmet with a winged creature above a shield bearing a chevron and three figures, framed by scrolling foliage and a banderole inscribed with a name, a plain emblem for a family or patron rather than a scene from the voyage.
