Cosmographia Petri Apiani,
Cosmographia by Peter Apian, with additions by Gemma Frisius, printed in Antwerp in 1574 for students of astronomy and geography. The pictures are woodcut diagrams of the heavens, a world map in a circle, sundial and quadrant instruments, and a table of longitudes and latitudes, all in dense black line with lettered labels. A designer could take their radiating rays, compass-like circles and tidy label typography as models for technical diagrams and historical maps.
