Americae pars quinta.
A 1617 Frankfurt imprint printed by Theodor de Bry, the fifth part of the Americae collection of voyage accounts by Girolamo Benzoni, with text by Urbain Chauveton. The four pictures are the same horizontal ornamental strapwork border, a dense band of interlaced scrolls, grotesque animal and human figures, and foliage, repeated with slight variations in impression and wear, so a designer can study one frieze type across several printings.
