A Dutch-language account printed in Amsterdam in 1656 by publisher I. Benjamin, recording the embassy of Sir Thomas Roe, envoy of the King of Great Britain, to the Mughal court and other Indian territories, produced for a Dutch readership interested in the East India trade. The engravings show a Mughal ruler enthroned in a columned hall with courtiers, a procession of elephants and attendants in a city street, a ceremonial audience on a raised balcony, and a sea battle with burning ships beside a rocky coast, offering designers scenes of formal court pageantry and dramatic naval smoke.
