A 1635 Latin natural history by the Jesuit Juan Eusebio Nieremberg, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press for scholars and readers of New World natural history. Its woodcuts show a dodo-like bird, a shaggy quadruped, and strange flowering plants with fruit and tendrils, drawn in a plain, schematic style that a designer could use for hand-carved botanical or bestiary motifs.
