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 Jean de Léry, published by the heirs of Eustache Vignon, describing his voyage to Brazil and the Tupinamba people. The pictures here are repeated small woodcut ornaments, a circular cartouche framed by interlaced scrollwork and foliage, which a designer could use as a template for border or initial-letter decoration.
