Nieuvve wereldt, ofte, Beschrijvinghe van West-Indien : wt veelderhande schriften ende aen-teeckeninghen van verscheyden natien
Nieuvve wereldt is a 1625 Dutch geographical description of the Americas, written by Joannes de Laet and printed at Leiden by Isaack Elzevier for readers interested in New World exploration and travel. Its pictures are engraved maps of South America, Brazil and the Caribbean, with dense coastline lettering, decorative title cartouches, compass roses and wave-patterned seas that a designer could draw on for antique cartographic motifs.
