Item description from seller

HEAVY. Preface by Charles E Pierce, Jr. Translations of Ruth S Kraemer. xxii, 272pp, colour illustrations, tinted end-papers. Or cloth boards in dust-jacket which has a nick at the spine head. This is a beautiful portrait of the Caribben world at the time of Sir Francis Drake's travels, at the end of the 16th Century. From the blurb, From the hands of one or more French Huguenots on board with Drake came the water-colours and accompanying texts of this manuscript. This handsomely-produced facsimile, with nearly 200 colour paintings of plants, animals, fish and birds, as well as daily life and work among the inhabitants, everything from diving for pearls and mining for gold and silver to wedding rituals, presents a vivid panorama of early European perceptions of the New World. Size: 4to Full-colour Facsimile with English Trans.
