Cellarius, Christoph, 1638-1707, Grossherzogliche Bibliothek in Neustrelitz. fmo RIBRL · 1692 · Ienae [i.e. Jena] : Sumtu Io. Bielckee, Bibliop. Literis Wertherianis, · 1 picture

A Latin geography textbook by Christoph Cellarius, printed in Jena in 1692 and written for scholars studying ancient and modern geography. The one picture is a page opening with a large decorated initial C and a dense block of Latin type, with no figures or maps shown. A designer might take the ornate woodcut initial and the tightly set columns of text as models for historical typography and decorative capitals.
