Brasilsche gelt-sack. Waer in dat claerlijck vertoont wordt, waer dat de participanten van de West-Indische Comp. haer gelt ghebleven is

1647 · Gedruct in Brasilien op't Reciff in de Bree-Bijl. [i.e. Amsterdam?] : [s.n.] · 5 pictures

A 1647 Dutch pamphlet, printed in Amsterdam or perhaps Recife under a fictitious imprint, that accounts for where the shareholders of the Dutch West India Company's money had gone, aimed at its investors. The pictures are a repeated ornamental woodcut headpiece of foliage, scrolls and a central beast, a line of Dutch manuscript-style print, and a small oval bookplate reading ex musaeo, which a designer might borrow for decorative borders, headers or ex libris marks.
