A 1575 Paris cosmography by Sebastian Münster and François de Belleforest, printed by Nicolas Chesneau for readers of geography and travel. Its pages carry woodcut town views and city plans framed by ornamental borders, with French and Latin captions below. The panoramic town views, with walls, towers and river settings, suggest how a designer might build layered European landscape vignettes from early printed maps.
