Caroli Nicolai Langii ... Historia lapidum figuratorum Helvetiae, eiusque viciniae : in qua non solum enarrantur omnia eorum genera, species et vires, aeneisque tabulis repraesentantur, sed insuper adducuntur eorum loca nativa, in quibus reperiri solent, ut cuilibet facile sit eos colligere, modo adducta loca adire libeat
Historia lapidum figuratorum Helvetiae is a 1708 natural-history treatise by Carl Nicolaus Lange, printed at his own expense in Switzerland, cataloguing fossils and figured stones of Helvetia with their finding places for collectors. Its copperplates show fossil brachiopods, ammonite-like spirals, and shells drawn in tidy engraved outline with numbered specimens and Latin captions, a clear model for labelled scientific specimen layouts.
