A 1707 German travel account by Paul Lucas, printed for German readers, describing a journey up the Nile from Cairo to the cataracts in Upper Egypt, with a copperplate map of the river. The first picture is a long vertical engraved chart of the Nile with place names, rapids and villages marked along its winding course. The second is a similar map with a decorative cartouche, a sun-like compass rose and a crocodile-and-sphinx ornament at its top. The third is a printed woodcut floral ornament of stylised flowers and leaves, useful as a symmetrical border or header motif.
