Phaenomena locustarum, praecipue nuperrimarum
A 1693 Latin natural history treatise on locusts by Johann Philip Treuner, printed in Jena for a learned readership interested in insects and natural proof of God. Its single plate is an engraved sheet of numbered figures showing whole locusts in several poses, with enlarged anatomical details of wings, legs, and bristly plumes at the right edge. A designer might take its dense, systematic arrangement of numbered specimens and fine cross-hatched linework as a model for scientific layout.
