Newe Schifffahrt is a 1605 German account of a three-year voyage by Dutch naval officer Joris van Spilbergen, printed at Frankfurt am Main by Matthias Becker and issued by the de Bry family of engravers for a German-reading public. Its pictures are copperplate views of Asian coastlines, harbour towns, war elephants and battle formations, plus a map of Ceylon with compass rose and cartouche, drawn in fine parallel hatching that a designer could borrow for antique-style maps, city panoramas or ornamental engraving.
