George Sandys's 1673 London travel account of the Ottoman empire, Constantinople, Greece, Egypt and the Holy Land, printed for J. Williams junior and illustrated with fifty engraved maps and figures. The views show engraved topographic panoramas of hilly Holy Land towns with lettered keys, a walled pool, a river harbour with ships and a compass rose, which a designer could borrow for antique map motifs, labelled landscape diagrams, and period lettering framing a cartouche.
