This is a Latin account of Martin Frobisher's 1577 voyage for Queen Elizabeth I, printed at Hamburg in 1675 by the Naumann and Wolff firm and compiled from Settle's journal. The first picture is an oval engraved portrait of a bearded man in a ruff and quilted doublet, and the second is an engraved coat of arms with a helmet, crest, eagle and a motto scroll reading Gaudeo, showing a designer the framing and heraldic ornament typical of 17th-century explorer books.
