Les trois liures de l'histoire des Indes, acomplie de plusieurs choses memorables,
A 1555 Paris printing of Jean Macer's three-book history of the Indies, issued by Guillaume Guillard and held by the John Carter Brown Library, aimed at readers interested in overseas exploration. The first picture is a marbled binding with a bookplate reading John Carter Brown, and the second is a page of black-letter text opening with a large decorative initial E framed by leafy ornament, which a designer might borrow for historical display type and ornamental capitals.
