Histoire naturelle et morale des iles Antilles is a 1658 natural history of the Caribbean islands, written by Charles de Rochefort and printed at Rotterdam by Arnould Leers, with a Carib vocabulary for readers of French. The pictures are small black-and-white engravings of insects, a tree bearing pods, and a plant with striped fruit, with a figure beside the tree for scale, and a designer could take their fine hatched line work and the way plants and creatures are arranged alone on the page.
