Cort, bondigh ende waerachtigh verhael van't schandelijck over-geven ende verlaten vande voorname conquesten van Brasil, : onder de regeeringe vande Heeren Wouter van Schonenburgh, president, Hendrick Haecx, hoogen raet, ende Sigismondus van Schoppe, luytenant Generael over de militie, 1654
A 1655 Dutch pamphlet printed at Middelburg by Thomas Dircksz van Brouwers-haven, recounting the surrender and abandonment of the Dutch conquests in Brazil for a Dutch reading public. Its pages show a dense baroque strapwork ornament used as a headpiece, and a large decorative initial letter 'H' with black-letter Dutch text beside it. A designer could draw on these for scrolling filigree dividers, illuminated capitals, and early modern printed typography.
