Le miroir de la tyrannie espagnole perpetree aux Indes Occidentales. : On verra icy la cruaute plus que inhumaine, commise par les Espagnols, aussi la description de ces terres, peuples, et leur nature.
A 1620 Dutch-language edition of Bartolomé de las Casas's account of Spanish cruelty in the West Indies, printed in Amsterdam by Ian Evertss. Cloppenburg for a readership interested in colonial atrocity. The first picture is a square woodcut initial Q framed by striped, scrolling foliage with a stylised leafy motif inside, a useful model for decorative capitals and bordered monograms. The second image is a blank strip of marbled paper with a ruled line and offers little for a designer.
