Indiae Orientalis pars VI. Veram et historicam descriptionem auriferi regni Guineae, ad Africam pertinentis, quod alias littus de Mina vocant, : continens, qua situs loci, ratio vrbium & domorum, portus item & flumina varia, cum variis incolarum superstitionibus, educatione, forma, commerciis, linguis & moribus, succincta breuitate explicantur & percensentur.
A 1604 Latin account of the gold-producing kingdom of Guinea on the African coast, written by Pieter de Marees and issued at Frankfurt by the de Bry family with engravings by Gotthard Arthus. The pictures are fine-line copperplate engravings of ornate initials, decorative headpieces, a heraldic coat of arms with instruments, and rows of West African men and women in dress and ornament, which suggest ornamental borders, armorial designs and ethnographic figure studies for a designer.
