Le nauigationi et uiaggi, fatti nella Turchia, di Nicolo de'Nicolai del Delfinato, signor d'Arfeuilla, cameriere, & geografo ordinario del Re di Francia, con diuerse singolarità uiste, & osseruate in quelle parti dall'autore
Nicolas de Nicolay's 1580 Venetian travel account of Ottoman Turkey, printed by Francesco Ziletti for European readers, illustrated with engraved costume plates of people across the Ottoman lands. The full-length figures, shown in cloaks, turbans and hoods with inscriptions naming each region, offer a designer clear reference for historical dress silhouettes and layered garment construction in a restrained line-engraved style.
