Isolario
Isolario is a sixteenth-century island atlas by Benedetto Bordon, printed in Venice in 1561 by Francesco di Leno for readers wanting maps of the Mediterranean and Atlantic islands. The pictures are small woodcut maps with hand-lettered place names, compass roses, and tiny symbols for hills, trees, and towns, useful to a designer for early cartographic lettering, hatching, and decorative compass ornament.
