Historia navigationis in Brasiliam quae et America dicitvr : qua describitvr avthoris navigatio, quaeque in mari vidit memoriae prodenda, Villagagnonis in America gesta : Brasiliensium victus & mores, à nostris admodum alieni, cum eorum linguae dialogo : animalia etiam, arbores atque herbae, reliquaque singularia & nobis penitus incognita
Historia navigationis is a 1594 Geneva travel account by the Huguenot Jean de Léry, printed by the heirs of Eustathius Vignon, describing his voyage to Brazil and the Tupinamba people and their natural history. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces, ornaments and scenes of figures and plants, showing how early modern printers built decorative borders and dense narrative panels a designer can adapt for grotesque scrollwork and foliage.
