A 1507 Italian printed travel account published in Vicenza by Henricus Vicentinus and his son Zamaria, describing the New World voyages of Amerigo Vespucci for a general reading public. The pages are set in dense black-letter type with decorated initial capitals, and a designer might take from them the rhythm of a historic text block and the carved, ornamental drop caps.
