A true relation is a 1605 English account of Captain George Waymouth's voyage to Virginia and the coast of Maine, written by James Rosier and printed in London for the bookseller George Bishop for readers interested in exploration and colonial promotion. Its two pictures are small, crisp ornaments: a heraldic achievement with a crest, scrolled mantling and a motto banner, and a horizontal strapwork border with animal heads and foliage, offering designers examples of early modern decorative framing.
