A 1599 Frankfurt book by Jan Huygen van Linschoten, the Dutch traveller who recorded Portuguese voyages to the East Indies, published with Johann Adam Lonicerus and the de Bry family for scholars and merchants. The pictures are engraved plates of the title page, Indian temples and fountains, a rowed galley with sail, and the author's portrait, showing how European readers imagined distant ports. A designer could draw on the dense ornamented title border, the strapwork frames and the crisp cross-hatched engraving of sea, architecture and figures.
