Voyage, ou relation de l'etat present du royaume de Perse. Avec une dissertation curieuse sur les moeurs, religion & gouvernement de cet etat. Enrichi de figures
A 1695 Paris travel account of the Persian kingdom, published by the widow Mabre-Cramoisi and written by Nicolas Sanson, illustrated with copperplate figures for a French readership curious about Persian customs and government. The engravings show a palace facade with arcaded wings, a richly embroidered robe worn by a standing figure, a multi-arched bridge in plan and elevation, and a tall tiered pillar set in a walled courtyard, offering designers ornate architectural and textile motifs drawn from early European views of Persia.
