Recent calf in an antique style, spine tooled in gilt with a red morocco label, top edge gilt; interior in excellent condition. With a fascinating provenance (see below). First edition of one of the most famous and fascinating early modern travel accounts, one of the great seventeenth-century works of its kind.
