Cosmographie, ou Description des quatre parties du monde, contenant la situation, diuision, & estendue de chascune region & prouince d'icelles,
Cosmographie is a 1581 French cosmography printed in Antwerp by Jean Withage, compiled from works by Peter Apian, Gemma Frisius, Gomara and Girava for a general readership of geographers and navigators. Its pictures are woodcut diagrams of astronomical instruments, sightlines and perspective construction, drawn with crisp black linework and lettered labels that a designer could borrow for clean scientific diagram motifs.
