Tome second.

77 pictures

The record gives only a volume title and a contributing library, so the book's author, date and readership are unknown. The engravings show scenes set in South Asia, with a palanquin procession, a crowd gathered before a shrine with a multi-headed image, a riot or massacre among tents, and a richly dressed woman with a bowl beside an elderly man. Their dense cross-hatched line and crowded staging suggest how eighteenth-century European engravers rendered foreign costume, architecture and violence for a printed travel or history volume.
