This is a 1669 Jesuit mission report from New France, printed in Paris by Sébastien Mabre-Cramoisy for the French Jesuit provincial Estienne Dechamps, and it covers missions among North American Indigenous peoples. The pictures are printer's ornaments: a historiated initial M with a woman's head, a foliate strapwork border, a decorated initial N in a knotted frame, and a tailpiece of two birds above a small town, all in woodcut style that a designer could borrow for decorative capitals and borders.
