Schott, Kaspar · 1663 · sumptibus viduae Ioannis Godefridi Schönwetteri ... Excudit Jobus Hertz · 16 pictures

A 1663 Latin treatise on hydrology and hydrostatics by the Jesuit Kaspar Schott, published at Würzburg by the widow of Johann Godfried Schönwetter and printed by Jobus Hertz, aimed at scholars studying springs, rivers and the source of the Nile. Its engraved plates are small, numbered figures of imagined subterranean water systems, rock caverns, and a spherical globe with sea-like currents, drawn in fine crosshatched line with lettered reference points, offering a designer dense, diagrammatic line textures and scroll-framed title cartouches for historical layouts.
