Piratas de la America. : Y luz à la defensa de las costas de Indias occidentales, dedicado al muy noble señor Don Ricardo de Whyte, cavallero del Orden militar de Calatrava &c.
A 1682 Spanish-language account of Caribbean pirates and buccaneers, printed in Cologne by Lorenzo Struikman and dedicated to a Calatrava knight, Don Ricardo de Whyte, with the author Exquemelin among those named. The three pictures are small woodcut ornaments in a dense, hand-cut style: a symmetrical floral cartouche, a potted flowering plant set on a woven basket, and a winged cherub head framed by feathery wings. A designer could take from them a model for compact, stylised botanical and face motifs suited to tailpieces, borders, or vignettes.
