A 1566 French account by Nicolas Le Challeux of Jean Ribaut's voyage to Florida, printed in Lyon by Jean Saugrain for a readership following the Huguenot colony of 1562 to 1565. The single picture is a letterpress page opening with a large ornamental woodcut initial N framed by scrolling foliage and interlace, beside dense black-letter French text; a designer might borrow its strapwork capital and the tight justified columns of type.
