Tomo quinto.
This is a volume of the Italian natural history and travel compendium Tomo quinto, held by the Eisenbibliothek Schlatt, with its plates likely made for a general readership of naturalists and collectors. The pictures are sober engraved plates: a ship in profile with lettered keys, rows of labelled shells and sea urchins, and fish and cephalopods laid out in a grid, suggesting a designer could draw on their clean line work, numbered-specimen layout and dense hatching.
