La decouverte des Indes Occidentales, par les Espagnols.
A 1697 French edition of Bartolomé de las Casas's account of the Spanish discovery of the West Indies, edited by the abbé de Bellegarde and published in Paris by André Pralard for a learned readership. The pictures are small black-and-white engraved ornaments: a coat of arms with fleurs-de-lis among trophies, a floral strapwork panel, an emblem with a Latin motto and a figure between two grotesque heads, and a griffin above a banner, suggesting how decorative engraved cartouches and heraldic devices can frame a title or head a chapter.
