A 1657 Amsterdam natural history compendium by Joannes Jonstonus, printed by Ioannes Iacobi Schipper, gathering his zoological treatises on quadrupeds, serpents, insects and aquatic invertebrates for scholars and naturalists. Its pages are full plates of engraved fish arranged in rows, each specimen labelled with a Latin name and numbered, in a crisp, schematic style a designer could use for botanical-style layouts, taxonomic diagrams or vintage specimen charts.
