Newe vnbekanthe Landte und ein newe Weldte in kurtz verganger Zeythe erfunden
A 1508 German translation of Fracanzano da Montalboddo's collection of voyage accounts, printed in Nuremberg by Georg Stüchs for a readership following the early New World voyages, including those of Vespucci and Columbus. The pictures are full pages of black-letter German type in dense justified columns, with a few decorated initial capitals such as a large ornamental A and O, showing how a designer might use heavy blackletter texture and ornamental drop caps.
