A True relation of the unjust, cruell, and barbarous proceedings against the English at Amboyna, in the East Indies, by the Neatherlandish governour, and council there
A 1665 London pamphlet printed by Thomas Mabb for William Hope, issued under the East India Company's name, recounting the 1623 Amboyna killings of English traders by Dutch authorities for a English readership. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and head-pieces: a large C with a carved flower and leaf strapwork, a scrolled banner border with foliate ornament, and a Gothic-style A framed by leafy vines and a central rosette, useful for designers seeking historical letterforms and ornamental borders.
