A seventeenth-century French natural history of the Antilles by the missionary Jean Baptiste Du Tertre, printed in Paris in 1667 for readers interested in the French colonies and their Indies companies. Its pictures are small woodcut decorations: a floral urn, a woven basket heaped with fruit, and an ornamental initial M framed in foliage, useful to designers seeking period botanical and border motifs.
