A 1614 Dutch history of Amsterdam by Johannes Pontanus, Petrus Montanus and Benjamin Wright, printed in Amsterdam for a general readership interested in the city's origins, trade and voyages. The pictures are copper-engraved maps and views of islands, harbours and sailing ships, drawn in dense, fine hatching with compass roses and ornate cartouches that suggest a designer could borrow old-world cartographic detail.
