A 1667 natural history of the Caribbean islands, printed in Lyon by Christofle Fourmy and written by Charles de Rochefort with contributions from Raymond Breton, aimed at French readers curious about the Antilles. The engraved plates show plants drawn in fine line on plain pages, with French common names captioned below each specimen, giving designers a model for botanical line illustration with clear labelling.
