Relation du Groenland is a 1663 French account of Greenland, printed in Paris by Thomas Iolly and attributed to Isaac de La Peyrère and François de La Mothe Le Vayer, written for a learned readership. The pictures are small black-and-white letterpress pieces: an ornamental initial M, a repeating scroll border, a woodcut fruit bowl, and a sketch map of Greenland and surrounding seas, which a designer might use for decorative initials, borders, or antique cartographic layout.
