A 1524 Nuremberg printing of Hernán Cortés's letter to Emperor Charles V describing New Spain and Tenochtitlan, printed by Friedrich Peypus for a court readership. The four pictures are woodcut ornaments and borders: a candelabra-like scroll with a cherub, putti with a swag, a shield with a plant and initials, and a colour-printed heraldic achievement with an eagle and crowned arms.
