Exceptionally clean copy of the first edition of De Bruyn's narrative of his travels to Russia, Asia Minor, Persia and India undertaken between 1701 and 1707. The work is "largely valued for the engravings executed from De Bruyn's drawings" (Howgego), including panoramas (Moscow, Isfahan, Persepolis, Arkhangelsk, Astrakhan, and others), city views, costume and natural history subjects.
