This 1618 German volume, the tenth part of Theodor de Bry's Americae series, was printed by Hieronymus Galler at Oppenheim for a readership interested in voyages to the New World. Its pages mix dense black-letter text with framed title panels and full-width engravings of Spanish and Indian encounters, shown in crowded scenes of boats, armed men and settlements, offering a designer dense woodcut-style compositions, dramatic horizon lines and ornamented initial letters.
