A 1590 French-language account of the Roanoke Virginia colony by Thomas Harriot, with watercolour-based engravings after John White, published in Frankfurt by Theodor de Bry and sold in the book trade for European readers. Four pictures here show the same ornamental triangular cartouche, a dense scrollwork frame around a bearded face wearing a feathered headdress, printed as a decorative headpiece rather than a scene from the colony.
