A 1664 Paris travel anthology compiled by Melchisédec Thévenot, gathering accounts of voyages from English, Dutch, Portuguese, German and Spanish sources and from Persian and Arabic authors, printed for the French court printer Jacques Langlois. The pictures are sparse copperplate and pen-and-wash plates: a palm-fringed landscape, birds and a plant studied in scientific detail, a fruiting branch with roots, and a tiered gateway with figures in a Chinese setting, which suggest botanical and architectural reference material.
