Eduward Meltons, Engelsch edelmans, Zeldzaame en gedenkwaardige zee- en land-reizen; door Egypten, West-Indien, Perzien, Turkyen, Oost-Indien, en d'aangrenzende gewesten;
A 1681 Dutch travel account, published in Amsterdam by J. ten Hoorn, purporting to be by English gentleman Edward Melton and describing voyages through Egypt, the West Indies, Persia, Turkey and the East Indies. The copperplate engravings show crowded street scenes of executions, burnings and processions set before walled towns, minarets and domed buildings, drawn with dense hatching and clear figure groupings that suit historical crowd compositions and architectural backdrops.
