A 1655 Paris printing by Jesuit missionary Pierre Pelleprat, published by the Cramoisy brothers, describing Jesuit missions among the Galibi and other peoples of the Caribbean islands and South American mainland. The pictures are small printer's ornaments: a leafy scrolled headpiece with grotesque figures, a foliate panel with a central tablet, a historiated initial I showing a robed figure beside a cloud and angels, and a laurel-wreathed initial N set against plain cream paper, all in black woodcut with crisp cutting.
