A 1613 Latin geographic treatise published in Amsterdam by the Hesselius Gerardus printing house, describing Henry Hudson's search for a northwest passage and the Samoyed lands of Siberia for a learned European readership. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments, a ship, a reindeer sledge scene and a manuscript-style chart, which show a designer early exploration imagery built from crisp line work on yellowed paper.
