Illustrations from the Six Voyages of John Baptista Tavernier (1678)
- BugsJustFindMe 9y agoThe most interesting thing about this is that, since the original images were labeled in French, not English, they had to be reproduced and then relabeled, which is definitely more work than just translating copy. Two things to note: 1) The translations aren't great. 2) The images appear to be reversed, which gives some insight into how they were copied. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8391674075_9a56a2e717_o.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8391674075_9a56a2e717_o.j... vs http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b2300071n/f51.highres http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b2300071n/f51.highres
