A 1688 French printed account of the Church and French colony in New France, written by Bishop Jean-Baptiste de la Croix de Chevrières de Saint-Vallier and published in Paris by Robert Pepie for a French readership. Its two pictures are small black-ink woodcut ornaments: a flower-filled urn with spreading leaves, and a strip of scrolling foliage with rosettes and a central vase above a large printed capital word, suited to a designer looking at early modern typographic ornament and decorative headpieces.
