Les trois mondes.
Les trois mondes is a geographical treatise by Lancelot-Voisin, sieur de La Popelinière, printed in Paris in 1582 by Olivier de Pierre L'Huillier for readers interested in New World discoveries. Its pictures are a decorative woodcut initial R, a historiated initial L with figures and foliage, a repeating scrolled border strip, and a bookplate of John Carter Brown with a heraldic shield, useful to a designer for Renaissance ornament, letterforms and interlaced scrollwork.
