Eyn schön hübsch Lesen von etlichen Insslen die do in kurtzen Zyten funden synd durch de[n] Künig von Hispania. : vnd sagt vo[n] grossen wunderlichen Dingen die in de[n] selbe[n] Insslen synd
A German-language pamphlet printed in Strassburg around 1497 under the name of Christopher Columbus, reporting newly found islands for a German readership. The first picture is a rough woodcut of richly dressed figures, one bearing a staff, standing on a shoreline, and the second is a heraldic shield with a crest, scrollwork and a motto banner, engraved in a later style. A designer might take from the woodcut its blunt contour lines and crowded group composition, and from the shield the decorative frame of acanthus scrolls.
