Historiæ naturalis de exanguibus aquaticis libri IV
A 1657 Latin natural history of aquatic invertebrates by Johannes Jonston, published in Amsterdam by Jan Jacobsz Schipper for naturalists and scholars. Its engraved plates show dense rows of shells, snails, cephalopods and sea creatures, each specimen labelled in small Latin captions, offering a designer a dense catalogue of spiral, ribbed and chambered forms with sharp hatched shading.
