Touring in 1600: A Study in the Development of Travel as a Means of Education
Bates, E. S. (Ernest Stuart)
Europe -- Description and travel; Europe -- Social life and customs; Travel -- History
_From Christopher Fürer's "Itinerarium" (1566)._
ARMS OF A JERUSALEM PILGRIM 238
_Arms of Sébastien Werro, curé of Fribourg, Switzerland,
surmounted by the arms of the Knights of the Holy
Sepulchre, showing that he received that knighthood on
the occasion of his pilgrimage thither, 1581. The title-page
of the account of his journey written by himself
(Bibl. de la Société Economique de Fribourg)._
TWO GERMAN KITCHENS 254
_The 'fat' and the 'lean.' Plates 58 and 63 of J. T. de
Bry's "Proscenium Vitæ Humanæ" ("Emblemata Sæcularia").
From the copy of the first edition (1596) in
the Bodleian Library at Oxford._
GERMAN BATHING-PLACES 268
_From Münster's Cosmography; two of the woodcuts
are from the French edition of 1575 (ii. 1020-21), the
other from the Latin edition of 1550. Visitors to Berlin
will find the subject more artistically illustrated by the
"Jugendbrunnen" of Lucas Cranach the younger, too
large for reproduction here to do it justice._
THE RED GATE, ANTWERP 272
_As it was about the middle of the sixteenth century (plate I
of Peter Breugel the elder's "Prædiorum Villarum ...
Icones"; Bibl. Royale de Belgique), showing also the inn
which, according to the custom so convenient to late arrivals,
was usually to be found outside the gate of a town._
A MAIN ROAD IN ALSACE 284
_Showing ruts and loose stones. From Münster's "Cosmographia"
(1550; p. 455)._
A SIGN-POST 294
_From the 1570 edition of Barclay's translation of
Brandt's "Ship of Fools."_
"_The hande whiche men unto a crosse do nayle
Shewyth the way ofte to a man wandrynge
Which by the same his right way can nat fayle._"
BENIGHTED 'SIGHT'-SEERS 312
_From Josse de Damhouder's "Praxis Rerum Criminalium,"
1554._
A PASSENGER-BOAT FROM PADUA 328
_From the "Stammbuch" (1578-83) of Gregory Amman
in the Landesbibliothek, Cassel._
RABELAIS RECEIVES SOME MONEY 342
_Rabelais' receipt for money received by him against a
bill of exchange such as travellers used. Photographed
(with M. Heulhard's transcription) from the latter's
"Rabelais, ses Voyages, et son Exil."_
LITHGOW IN TROUBLE 348
_From the 1632 edition of his "Rare Adventures."_
TRAVELLERS ATTACKED BY ROBBERS 354
_No. 7 of Jacques Callot's "Misères de la Guerre"; a
photograph of the British Museum copy of the second
impression (1633). The second state has been chosen in
preference to the first, as including the verses of the
Abbé de Marolles, himself a traveller; the clearness of the
etching not having suffered in the second impression._
"WOLVES" 356
_Another wood-cut from Derricke's "Image of Irelande,"
or rather, part of one, the size of the original. It represents
Derricke's best wishes for Rory Oge, the 'rebel,' but
is none the less applicable generally._
