America: Neuwe und gründtliche Historien von dem nidergängischen Indien, so von Christophoro Columbo im Jar 1492 erstlich erfunden [1]

Benzoni, Girolamo, Bry, Theodor de [Hrsg.] · 1594 · 26 pictures

A 1594 German edition of Theodor de Bry's America, a Frankfurt publication for a German-reading audience, printed from Heidelberg University Library's copy, presenting Columbus's voyages and the Spanish conquests through Girolamo Benzoni's accounts. Its engraved plates show ships, Caribbean natives, and colonial encounters, with each plate captioned above and below in dense black-letter type that a designer could use for period texture.
