Gendron, François, Rocoles, Jean-Baptiste de, 1620-1696 · 1660 · Troyes, Bechet · 1 picture

A 1660 French printed account of Huron country in New France, issued at Troyes by the Béchet press and attributed to François Gendron and Jean-Baptiste de Rocoles, aimed at a French readership. The single picture is a decorative woodcut device: a pelican feeding its young within interlaced foliage, with a small village scene and a monogram below, suggesting ornamental printer's marks a designer could borrow for emblematic borders.
