Bry, Theodor de, 1528-1598, editor, Becker, Matthäus, 1576-1612, printer, Bry, Johann Israel de, -1611, engraver, Bry, Johann Theodor de, 1561-1623?, engraver, Harriot, Thomas, 1560-1621, Hans and Hanni Kraus Sir Francis Drake Collection (Library of Congress), Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection (Library of Congress) · 1600 · Franckfort am Mayn : Gedruckt durch M. Becker, 1600. · 25 pictures

This 1600 supplement, printed by Matthäus Becker at Frankfurt am Main for a German-reading audience, gathers de Bry's accounts of Francis Drake's voyages to the West Indies and America and of a Dutch fleet's attack on Gran Canaria. The first picture is a dense block of German text under a heading, while the others are copperplate engravings with small figures, ships and native villages in open landscapes. A designer could take the crowded, numbered-caption page layouts and the dense hatched engraving style used for battle and village scenes.
