A new account of East-India and Persia: in 8 letters being 9 years travels, begun 1672 and finished 1681
John Fryer's 1698 travelogue A New Account of East-India and Persia, in eight letters, records nine years of travel in South Asia and Persia from 1672 to 1681, printed for an English readership and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its pictures are engraved route maps, coastal profiles with compass bearings, and a plan of Madras fort, showing how early surveyors combined cartography, measured distances and bird's-eye town plans on one page.
