Histoire naturelle des iles Antilles de l'Amerique:
Histoire naturelle des iles Antilles de l'Amerique is a 1667 natural history of the Caribbean islands, printed in Lyon by Christofle Fourmy and credited to Charles de Rochefort and others, held by the John Carter Brown Library. The picture shows a marbled paper binding with gilt tooled border and a paper label bearing a bookplate with a stylised bird-and-banner device and the name John Carter Brown, so a designer could take marbled endpaper patterns in red, ochre and blue and the gilt-tooled frame as period bookbinding references.
