This is a Dutch travel account by Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1727), published in Delft in 1698 for readers interested in the Levant, Egypt, Syria and Palestine, with over 200 copper plates made from the author's own drawings. The one picture shows a coastal view with ruined stone structures on a low shore beside two small sailing vessels on choppy water. A designer might take from it the value of simple engraved horizon lines, layered hatching for sea and sky, and the scale contrast between boats in the foreground and distant ruins.
