A 1642 Paris printing by Sebastien Cramoisy, a Jesuit relation of missionary news from New France for the Jesuit province of France, written by Paul Le Jeune and Barthélemy Vimont. The pictures are ornamental letterpress pieces: a dense foliate headpiece, a scrolled strapwork band, a central emblem of a bird over a town within leafy borders, and a decorated initial D, all in black woodcut-style ink on cream paper, useful for designers seeking early modern border, cartouche and initial-letter models.
