Coryat's Crudities, hastily gobled up in five moneths travells in France, Savoy, Italy, Rhetia commonly called the Grisons country, Helvetia alias Switzerland, some parts of high Germany and the Netherlands; newly digested in the hungry aire of Odcombe in the county of Somerset, and now dispersed to the nourishment of the travelling members of this kingdome
Thomas Coryate's 1611 account of a five-month journey through France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany, printed in Glasgow by MacLehose and Sons in a modern reprint of the early seventeenth-century English original. The pictures are a woodcut of a paired-shoe emblem in a wreath, a dense engraved title page crowded with figures, arches and cartouches, and a 1905 University Press bookplate with a Glasgow coat of arms; a designer could draw on the crowded engraved frames and the wreath ornament.
