De Martini Forbisseri Angli navigatione in regiones occidentis et septentrionis narratio historica,
This 1580 Latin account of Martin Frobisher's voyages to the western and northern regions was printed in Nuremberg by the heirs of Johannes Montanus and Catharina Gerlach, for a learned readership interested in English exploration. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments and scenes: a cornucopia-and-cherub headpiece, a putto frieze, a boat scene with Inuit figures paddling kayaks, and a heraldic griffin above a banner reading GAUDEO. A designer might borrow the dense, decorative woodcut borders and the early cartographic-era figure drawing.
