A pair of engravings on a single sheet of laid paper, each 14 x 15 cm (including captions); 37 x 23 cm (sheet), the sheet with scattered spotting and toning mainly affecting the margins, but in very good condition. This engraving appeared in Middleton's "New & Complete System of Geography" (1779) and is an example of the demand for publishers to supply views of the East and exotic "New Worlds". The late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had seen a dramatic increase in the publication of voyage accounts (and compilations and collections) on the London book market. From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker.
