The six voyages of John Baptista Tavernier
A 1678 London edition of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier's travel accounts, issued by the publisher R.L. and M.P. and written for an English readership interested in voyages. The pictures are faint engraved plates of cut stones and coin-like seals arranged in grids, with a page of flowing Persian-style script, offering a designer a source of ornamental roundels, rosette-like seal patterns and orderly tabular layouts.
