The travels of Monsieur de Thevenot into the Levant
A 1687 London English translation of Jean de Thévenot's travel account of the Levant, printed by H. Clark for several booksellers and aimed at armchair readers of voyages. The plates show a series of nine lettered sequences of a rock-based fountain or waterspout rising and bending in wind, and a cliff-cut structure with a balcony above a waterfall, both drawn in fine engraved line with cross-hatched shading that a designer could borrow for natural forms and rocky landscapes.
