Jacques Bouton's 1640 Paris account of French settlement on Martinique from 1635, printed by Sebastien Cramoisy for a French readership interested in the Antilles and Carib customs. The single picture is an engraved coat of arms with a bird crest, scrolling foliage mantling, a chevron shield and the motto GAUDEO beneath, suggesting heraldic ornament for borders, seals or emblem marks.
