This is a 1577 English travel account printed in London by Richard Jugge, compiled from voyages to the West and East Indies and the Moluccas, including Frobisher's search for a Northwest passage, and addressed to readers interested in exploration. The pictures are black-letter pages with large decorative woodcut initials, some with foliage, grotesque animals and figures, and dense columns of blackletter type that a designer could use for historical borders and drop caps.
