A 1667 French natural and colonial history of the Antilles by the missionary Jean Baptiste Du Tertre, printed in Paris by Thomas Iolly for readers interested in the French West Indies and the Compagnie des Indes occidentales. The pictures are black-and-white copperplate engravings: a harbour view with ships, a heraldic achievement flanked by allegorical figures, a regional map with a compass rose and a small fortified plan, and an allegorical title page with cherubs, drapery and trophies, giving a designer dense, decorative engraved ornament and early map styling.
