The strange and prodigious religions, customs, and manners of sundry nations ...
A 1688 London compendium of foreign religions, customs and manners compiled by R. B. (c. 1632–1725), printed and sold by Henry Rodes, with its illustrations lettered A to H as engraved plates. The four pictures show crowds in open landscapes, a walled city with domed towers under a sky of figures, a column and fire rites, and processions before gateways, giving a designer dense, crowded compositions of costumed figures and ceremonial action.
