A Jesuit missionary report on New France, printed in Paris in 1649 by Sebastien Cramoisy and Gabriel Cramoisy for the Jesuit province of France, covering the Wyandot mission years 1647 and 1648. The two pictures are ornamental printer's headpieces: a woodcut border of a bird with foliage above a small town, and a horizontal band of fruit, foliage and figures with a central monogram. A designer could draw on their dense leafy scrollwork, cut-line woodcut texture and printed-page ornament.
