This 1602 German-language appendix to Theodor de Bry's America series, printed in Frankfurt am Main by Matthäus Becker, recounts Olivier van Noort's circumnavigation through the Strait of Magellan for a readership of armchair travellers and collectors. Its pictures are dense black-and-white engravings by Johann Israel de Bry, showing ships in crowded seascapes, town views, a map of Borneo, and landings with figures in the foreground, offering a designer clear models for crowded maritime scenes, layered horizons and period cartographic detail.
