A 1640 Dutch-language printed account by Gedeon Moris, a merchant aboard the West India Company ship Princesse, sailing from Zeeland to Brazil and reporting from England, published in Amsterdam by bookseller Francois Lieshout for readers interested in the Dutch conquest of Brazil. The single picture is a woodcut printer's ornament: a symmetrical cartouche with a central mask, scrolls, and looping strapwork, useful to a designer for historical decorative borders and symmetrical emblem motifs.
