De gedenkwaardige voyagie van Don Ferdinand de Soto na Florida : en desselfs ontdekking van de landen in dat gewest, met al wat aanmerkensswaardig op die vierjarige reyse is voorgevallen : gedaan anno 1539 en vervolgens
A 1706 Dutch account published at Leiden by Pieter van der Aa, translating the Knight of Elvas narrative of Hernando de Soto's four-year expedition through Florida begun in 1539, aimed at readers of early exploration history. Its engravings show armoured Spanish horsemen and musketeers confronting Native groups in open woodland and in palisaded village settlements, with crowded, dynamic compositions and dense cross-hatched shading that suggest strong models for historical battle scenes, figure groupings, and palisade or village layouts.
