A 1575 Paris cosmography by Sebastian Münster, expanded by François de Belleforest and printed by Nicolas Chesneau, describing the inhabited and uninhabited lands and seas of the world for a learned French readership. The pictures are woodcut city plans and views, with panoramic birds-eye layouts of streets, walls, rivers and gardens, plus an ornate border with grotesque scrollwork and strapwork that a designer could draw on for map and frame layouts.
