Geographia universalis : vetus et nova complectens Claudii Ptolemaei Alexandrini enarrationis libros VIII
A 1540 Basel atlas of Ptolemy's geography, edited by Sebastian Münster and published by Henricus Petrus, with woodcut maps of the ancient world for scholars and readers of classical geography. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut maps with dense lettering, decorative cartouches, rhumb-line borders and hand-drawn-looking coastlines, offering a designer a model for antique cartographic framing and typographic labels.
