Catalogus antiquarum et novarum rerum ex longe dissitis terrarum oris, quarum visendarum copia Lugduni in Batavis in Anatomia Publica, quae curiosis spectatoribus monstrantur
A 1695 printed catalogue from Leiden, published in Lugduni Batavorum by Huberti vander Boxe and compiled by Gerard Blancken, listing curiosities and anatomical specimens shown to visitors at the university's public anatomy theatre for curious spectators. Its single picture is a small woodcut-style vignette of a reclining skeletal figure with a cloth draped over its body, set in a rectangular frame above a Latin caption. A designer might take its compact, horizontal panel format and stark, dense linework as a model for minimal, witty historical labelling.
