Relation historique et geographique, de la grande riuiere des Amazones dans l'Amerique
A 1655 Paris book by Blaise François de Pagan, comte de Merveilles, published by Cardin Besongne and written in French for readers curious about the Amazon River and Brazil. Its pictures are mostly typographic: a historiated initial letter, a foliate headpiece with a grotesque face, a printed title line, and a bookplate bearing a book and the motto 'Ex Musaeo', suggesting ornament and lettering for a designer to draw on.
