A 1650 Latin natural history of animals, compiled by Joannes Jonstonus and published in Frankfurt am Main by the heirs of Matthaeus Merian, with engraved plates by Matthaeus Merian the younger for scholars and naturalists. Its pages are numbered engraved plates of insects, caterpillars, larvae, beetles, worms and starfish, each specimen drawn in clean outline with a Latin caption above. A designer could draw on the orderly grid layouts, the dense hatched shading of the beetles, and the systematic labelling of small creatures.
