Asia, a 1681 German description of the Mughal Empire and parts of India, compiled by Olfert Dapper and translated by Johann Christoph Beer, and issued for a German readership as a geographic and travel compendium. Its engravings show Mughal court ceremony, a cityscape seen across open ground, and war elephants and mounted combat, offering a designer baroque-era copperplate line, dense hatching, and crowded compositions with dramatic skies.
