A map of Virginia, written by Captain John Smith with contributions from others, printed at Oxford in 1612 for an English readership interested in the colony and its people. The pictures are mostly decorative woodcut initials and a border strip in black ink on cream paper, with columns of black-letter text beside them. A designer could take inspiration from the dense, ornamental scrollwork and foliate capital letters.
