De beschryvinghe vant groot ende vermaert coninckrijck van Congo, ende de aenpalende oft ommegheleghen landen, met verclaringhe van veel sonderlinghe saken, ende gheschiedenissen vanden selfden coninckrijcke. ...
A 1596 Dutch travel account of the Kingdom of Congo and neighbouring lands, compiled from the Portuguese writings of Duarte Lopes and published in Amsterdam by Cornelis Claesz for readers interested in African exploration. The pictures are small woodcut-style engravings: one shows three standing figures in simple draped clothing against a flat ground line, and the other is a text page with a large decorated initial, suggesting a designer could draw on its bold line work, compact figure groupings, and dense black-and-white type layout.
