Italiänische, Dalmatische, Griechische und Orientalische Reise-Beschreibung: Worinn Allerhand merkwürdige, vormals in Europa unbekannte, Antiquitäten enthalten
A 1681 German translation of Jacob Spon and George Wheler's travel account of Italy, Dalmatia, Greece and the Levant, compiled by translator Jean Menudier and aimed at readers interested in classical antiquities unknown in Europe. The plates show a map of a walled city with a harbour, a small map of a coastal route, a crucifix panel, an inscribed pedestal, a carved bust fragment, a decorative ornament, a columned circular monument, and a title page with a printed block of text. A designer could draw on the engraved map cartouches, the classical columns and the florid ornamental woodcut for period-appropriate decoration.
