Relation du voyage de monseigneur l'evesque de Beryte, vicaire apostolique du royaume de la Cochinchine, par la Turquie, la Perse, les Indes, &c. jusqu'au royaume de Siam, & autres lieux
A 1683 Paris travel account by Jacques de Bourges, published by C. Angot, describing a Catholic missionary bishop's journey from Turkey and Persia through India to Siam for a readership of church and missionary circles. The single picture is a woodcut tailpiece of a flowering plant in a footed urn, with bold black carved leaves and blossoms that suggest a bold botanical motif for decorative borders or vintage print layouts.
