Expeditio Francisci Draki is a 1588 Leiden account of Francis Drake's raid on the West Indies, written by Walter Bigges and printed by Franciscus Raphelengius for an educated European readership. The first picture is an engraved heraldic achievement with a crest, helm, mantling and motto scroll reading GAUDEO, while the second shows a galleon and compass rose over stippled sea with a grotesque carved cartouche below, offering a designer ornate heraldic framing and waves rendered in fine engraved hatching.
