Warhafftige Beschreibung der newen Insl, Pines genannt. so nechst verwichnes Jahr 1667. von den Holländern erfunden worden.

Neville, Henry, 1620-1694 · 1668 · [Germany : s.n.] · 1 picture

A 1668 German-language account of a supposed island called Pines, attributed to Henry Neville, printed in Germany and filed under imaginary voyages; the picture here is a bookplate, not an illustration from the text. It shows a heraldic coat of arms with a helmet crest and a motto scroll above the name John Carter Brown over marbled endpaper, so a designer might take the ornate heraldic frame and the marbled paper pattern as reference for decorative borders and ex libris layouts.
