Orientalische Reise-Beschreibung/ Des Brandenburgischen Adelichen Pilgers Otto Friedrich von der Groeben

Gröben, Otto Friedrich von der, Friedrich [Bearb.], Reiniger, Simon [Bearb.] · 1694 · 26 pictures

An account of a journey to the Near East by Otto Friedrich von der Groeben, a Brandenburg noble pilgrim, published in German in 1694 with engraved plates for a general readership. The pictures are small black-and-white copperplate views and plans of Holy Land sites, with buildings drawn in outline and hatching, and a designer might take their diagrammatic clarity and crisp line work for historical map or architectural plan styling.
