Harris - The Embassadors Entry Through the Famouse Chinese Wall (Great Wall of China)
This fascinating engraving is from John Harris's Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. Or, a Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels... The maps included in this work were mostly completed by Emanuel Bowen. This is the second edition of the work was published in London for T. Woodward between 1744 and 1748.
"A collection of all known voyages ... [Navigantium atque itinerantium bibliotheca] is valuable for the original impressions of the fine series of maps by Herman Moll, including a very good one of America. Also there is one of the world according to Mercator's projection, with improvements, showing the northern coast line and part of the west and south coasts of Australia together with parts of Tasmania and New Zealand. Among voyages included are those of Magellan, Drake, Cavendish, Schouten, Hawkins, Narbrough, and Dampier." (Hill)
