Topographia Hassiae is a 1646 topographical book in German and Latin by Martin Zeiller, published in Frankfurt by Matthäus Merian, describing towns and places in Hesse and neighbouring regions for readers interested in travel and local history. Its pages show engraved town views drawn from a distance across open landscape, with walled settlements, church spires, hills and rivers, and a designer could take from them the layered panoramic composition and the sparse hatched linework of seventeenth-century topography.
