Historia natural y moral de las Indias is a Spanish natural and moral history of the Americas by the Jesuit José de Acosta, printed in Seville in 1590 by Juan de León for a European readership. Its four pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: an oval cartouche framing a palm tree, a grotesque mask, an IHS monogram in a tooled frame, and a scrolling arabesque, offering designers ready models for decorative frames and tailpieces.
