Naukeurige beschryving van gantsch Syrie, en Palestyn is a 1677 Dutch geographical account of Syria and the Holy Land by Olfert Dapper, published in Amsterdam by Jacob van Meurs for a Dutch-reading public. Its copper-engraved plates show walled cities, hilltop fortresses, and travellers on rocky roads, with dense hatching and detailed bird's-eye city views a designer could draw on for landscape and map-style compositions.
