Description
1780 VOYAGES Explorers India Shah Jahan Mughal Empire Illustrated Fakirs



The best book of its kind!



A rare book La Harpe’s ‘General History of Voyages’! This extensive work was begun by La Harpe, and, after the first 21 volumes, was completed by several other historians. Not only does this work describe the geography of specific voyages, but it covers the sciences, commerce, religion, and customs of people groups from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Pacific Islands.



According to Sabin, La Harpe’s ‘Voyages’ is

“a work that has met with greater success than any other of the same kind; the fidelity of the narration, the striking details of adventures, and the lively pictures of manners, etc., it presents, will always give it a peculiar and lasting merit. Contains all the early voyages of America.”



This volume includes some of the most popular voyages of the 18th-century. It is illustrated with folding plates of important scenes from these expeditions including

Princess du Nabab, Mother of Arcot

Different kinds of fakirs

Shah Jahan – Mughal Emperor of India

Princess Jahanara Begum Sahib, daughter of Shah Jahan

Court of Great Mogul (foldout)

Roshanara Begum – Princess of the Mughal Empire, second daughter of Shah Jahan
