A 1608 London imprint by Captain John Smith, printed by Edward Allde for John Tappe and sold by William Welby, recounting the early years of the Virginia colony and its dealings with Indigenous peoples for an English reading public. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments, a decorative initial and a ship, plus a set of hand-cut display capitals; a designer might draw on the sturdy black-line woodcut vocabulary of scrollwork, foliage and early sailing vessels.
