A 1685 French cosmography and geography compendium by Allain Manesson-Mallet, published in Frankfurt am Main by Jean David Zunner, aimed at readers wanting the world's systems, maps and costumes in one volume. Its engravings show Cartesian vortex diagrams with concentric orbits, paired circular planetary models, ancient globes of Mella, Posidonius and Ptolemy with sea monsters, and a dense star chart of constellations over a ship and coastal view, giving designers strong circular diagram layouts, ornamental cartouches and antique cosmological imagery.
