Champlain's 1613 account of his voyages in New France, printed in Paris by Jean Berjon for a French reader interested in exploration and the Canadian coast. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a symmetrical satyr-like mask panel repeated twice, and decorative initial letters with interlace and foliage set beside the running French text, useful for border, header, and historical typographic motifs.
