A French account of the Amazon river published in Paris in 1682 by Claude Barbin, compiling the travels of Cristóbal de Acuña and Pedro Teixeira for a French reading public. The pictures are small black woodcut ornaments and fleurons printed in the text, showing symmetrical scrollwork, stacked fleur-like motifs and a cartouche, useful to designers looking for dense seventeenth-century French decorative borders and panel fillers.
