Navigatio ac itinerarium is a 1599 travel account by Jan Huygen van Linschoten, printed at The Hague by Albert Henricsz and sold by Cornelis Nicolaisz and Elsevier, describing Portuguese India for European merchants and navigators. The pictures include an armorial title plate with ornate strapwork, a Dutch-captioned scene of figures in a palm-shaded village, and a parasol-carrying procession, all in fine engraved line with dense hatching that suits designers studying early modern cartouches and engraved ethnographic figures.
