Les singularitez de la France Antarctique, autrement nommée Amerique, & de plusieurs terres & isles decouuertes de nostre temps:
A 1558 French travel account of Brazil and other newly discovered lands, written by the cosmographer André Thevet and printed in Antwerp by Christophe Plantin for a European readership. Its woodcut pictures are small, plain, and botanical or emblematic, with a tree bearing heart-shaped leaves and a squirrel, a radish-like root plant with star-shaped leaves, and a printer's device with a cartouche of a hand holding a compass-like instrument, giving a designer clean, sparse line motifs to borrow.
