Relation veritable de la prinse de la Baya de todos los santos, & de la ville S. Sauueur au Brasil. par la flotte hollandoise, M.DC.XXIV

unknown · 1624 · [Paris? : s.n.] · 1 picture

A 1624 French pamphlet, publisher probably Paris and anonymous, recounting the Dutch fleet's capture of Bahia and Salvador in Brazil for a readership interested in colonial news. The single picture is a heraldic armorial bookplate, not a scene from the conquest: a shield with chevron and three figures, flanked by scrolling mantling and a crested helm, with the motto 'BAUDEO' on a ribbon and the owner's name printed beneath. A designer could draw on its engraved scrollwork, mantling and heraldic framing for crest or monogram work.
