England as seen by Foreigners in the days of Elizabeth and James the First. Comprising translations of the journals of the two Dukes of Wirtemberg in 1592 and 1610; both illustrative of Shakespeare. With extracts from the travels of foreign Princes and others, copious notes, an introduction, and etchings
A scholarly antiquarian compilation edited by William Brenchley Rye, published in London in 1865, gathering translated travel journals of foreign visitors to Elizabethan and Jacobean England for Shakespeare students and historians. The plates mix foliate woodcut initials, single-plant vignettes of pinks and poppies in outline, and fine-line etched views such as the Paul's Cross sermon, usable as drop caps, spot ornaments and architectural scenes.
