Relation de l'isle de Tabago, ou de la Nouuelle Oüalcre, l'vne des Isles Antilles de l'Amerique.

Rochefort, Charles de, 1605-1683, Desnoir, P. fmo RPJCB, Ternaux-Compans, Henri, 1807-1864. fmo RPJCB · 1666 · A Paris, : chez Louys Billaine, au second pilier de la Grand' Sale du Palais. · 1 picture

A 1666 Paris account of the island of Tobago, written by Charles de Rochefort and published by Louys Billaine for a French reading public interested in the Antilles. The only picture is a small engraved heraldic device: a banner reading GAUDEO above a crested creature perched on a striped wreath, a printer's or owner's emblem rather than a scene of the island. A designer might take from it the compact, banner-and-crest format used for early modern emblems and bookplates.
