A 1590 Latin account of Virginia, printed at Frankfurt by Johann Wechel for Theodor de Bry from John White's drawings and Thomas Harriot's text, addressed to a learned European readership interested in the New World. The four pictures are repeated decorative strapwork bands of scrolls, leaves and grotesque figures in fine black line, showing how Renaissance ornament can serve as a border or headpiece for a page.
