Justus Lipsius's 1610 Antwerp description of Leuven and its university, a scholarly topographic book printed at the Plantin press with engravings by Theodor Galle. The plates are panoramic bird's-eye views of the town, with walls, towers, fields and village churches drawn in dense, fine engraved line that a designer could study for early map-like perspective and texture.
