Bendenckingen op den dagelijckschen, ende iaerlijckschen loop van den aerdt-kloot : mitsgabers op de ware af-beeldinge des sienelijcken hemels : daer in de wonderbare wercken Godts worden ontdeckt
A 1650 Dutch astronomy treatise by Philippe van Lansberge (1561-1632), printed at Middelburg for the bookseller Zacharias Roman, on the daily and yearly motion of the earth and the true picture of the heavens. The first picture is a decorative cartouche of two winged griffins flanking a blank shield over scrollwork, while the second is a geometric diagram of concentric orbits with lettered points and dotted sight lines. A designer could take the cartouche's symmetrical scrollwork and the diagram's clean concentric rings as models for ornament and for minimal technical charts.
