Journael, ofte historiaelse beschrijvinge van Matheus vanden Broeck. : Van 't geen hy selfs ghesien ende waerachtigh gebeurtis, wegen 't begin ende revolte van de Portugese in Brasiel, als mede de conditie en het overgaen van de forten aldaer
A 1651 Dutch account printed in Amsterdam for the bookseller Gerrit van Goedesbergen, written by Matheus van den Broeck as an eyewitness journal of the Portuguese revolt and fort surrenders in Brazil. The pictures include a woodcut galleon, a decorative initial D, a sketched run of flourished capitals, and engraved scenes of ships in battle off a fortified coast, which suggest how period maritime reportage and early printed ornament were built from simple line and dense hatching.
