The illustrations for this volume were prepared by William Marshall (fl. 1617-1650). On p.58 there is a illustration showing 'Ruines of Persaepolis', with an entrance gate guarded by an elephant (left) and a rhinoceros (right). The statues are quite small, and the rhinoceros probably exhibited just one horn on the nose. There is no text about these animals.
