Rodríguez, Manuel, 1633-1701 · 1684 · En Madrid : En la Imprenta de Antonio Goncalez de Reyes · 2 pictures

A 1684 Spanish account of Jesuit missions and explorations in the Amazon and Andean regions, written by Manuel Rodríguez and printed in Madrid for a readership interested in colonial America. The two woodcut pictures are small flower arrangements in baskets or vases, set into the printed text, with bold black linework, spiky petals and dense hatching in the containers, which a designer could use as compact botanical ornament or pattern source.
