Relation historique de la découverte de l'isle de Madere.
A 1671 French-language account, printed for Louis Billaine in Paris, telling the history of the discovery of Madeira and its explorer João Gonçalves Zarco. The first picture is a heraldic coat of arms with a bird crest, scrolling acanthus ornament, and a banner reading GAUDEO, while the second shows a title-page preface with a floral woodcut headpiece and a dense block of French text in a small roman typeface. A designer could draw on the armorial framing and the ornamental headpiece, both useful models for crests, bookplates, and decorative capitals.
