Relation de l'inquisition de Goa
Relation de l'inquisition de Goa is a 1688 account by Gabriel Dellon, a French physician who was imprisoned by the Goa Inquisition, printed in Paris for a French readership. Its engraved plates show a procession through a city square with robed penitents and a banner, a row of prisoners in a stone hall, a bare council room with a crucifix, and a crowded church interior with tiered seating. A designer could take from them the austere, documentary look of late seventeenth-century copperplate, with dense crowds and strict rows of figures.
