Du Tertre, Jean Baptiste, 1610-1687 · 1667 · A Paris, : Chez Thomas Iolly, au palais, en la salle des merciers, à la palme, & aux armes d'Hollande. · 9 pictures

A 1667 natural and civil history of the French Antilles by the Dominican missionary Jean Baptiste Du Tertre, printed in Paris by Thomas Iolly for readers in France and the French colonies. The pictures are black-and-white copper engravings: a crested heraldic shield with a unicorn and two eagles, an ornate allegorical title page with cherubs, drapery, flags and a seated female figure, and small emblematic vignettes with a lion and a classical bust in ovals, offering designers dense baroque frame and cartouche ornament.
