A 1556 French edition of Leo Africanus's description of Africa, translated by Jean Temporal, printed in France for readers interested in travel and geography. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, with a large P and A and an M framing figures, animals and foliage, so a designer might draw on their compact decorative letter-frames with grotesque figures and scrolling foliage.
