America: Wunderbarliche doch Warhafftige Erklärung Von der Gelegenheit vnd Sitten der Wilden in Virginia: welche newlich von den Engelländern, so im Jahr 1585 ... ist erfunden worden
This 1600 German edition, published by Theodor de Bry from Thomas Harriot's account, documents the Algonquian peoples of Virginia and was issued for a European readership curious about the New World. Its pictures are finely detailed copperplate-style engravings with ornate title architecture, dense borders, and figures set in open landscapes. A designer could draw on the decorative framing devices and the stylised, rhythmic groupings of dancing and standing figures.
