A true relation of such occurences and accidents of noate as hath hapned in Virginia since the first planting of that collony, which is now resident in the south part thereof, till the last returne from thence.
A True Relation is a 1608 London pamphlet by Captain John Smith, printed by Edward Allde for John Tappe and sold by William Welby, reporting events in the early Virginia colony to an English reading public. Its pictures are a repeated woodcut-style ornamental border, a grotesque animal and sun-face strapwork border, and a marbled endpaper with a coat-of-arms bookplate, offering a designer dense symmetrical pattern, interlaced foliage and marbling references.
