This 1590 Frankfurt edition, printed by Johann Wechel with publication by Theodor de Bry, is a Latin account of Thomas Harriot's voyage to Virginia for Walter Raleigh, illustrated with John White's watercolours engraved by de Bry. The four pictures are near-identical horizontal decorative friezes of interlaced scrolls, grotesque masks and winged creatures in dense engraved line, offering a designer a ready model for strapwork borders, cartouche bands and panel headers in Renaissance style.
