1693 VOYAGES 1^ed Europe France Italy Spain England RUSSIA Germany MAPS 7v

Claude Jordan’s “Historic Voyages of Europe” is a rare, 17^th-century collection of voyage reports from across Europe. First published in 1693, this set offers thorough, descriptive lists of voyagers in Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Holland, Germany, and Russia. While the accounts of discovery are important, the draw of this set is the inclusion of the folding map in each volume. Maps from 17^th-century voyage histories are particularly desirable – so much so, that they are often extracted from books and framed separately. It is incredibly rare to find each of these maps fully intact – truly, a rare find!
