This is a 1624 German-language folio from Frankfurt, published by the heirs of Theodor de Bry and compiling English voyages of Raleigh, Cavendish and Drake for a European reading public. Its pictures are dense engraved scenes of canoes, ships, camps and daily life in the Americas, with clear hatching and crowded figures, offering designers strong models for period maritime and ethnographic woodcut-style compositions.
