La sphere des deux mondes,
La sphere des deux mondes is a cosmography treatise by Gilles Boileau de Buillon, printed in Antwerp in 1555 by Jean Richart for readers learning the spheres of the heavens and the earth. Its pictures are small woodcut diagrams of spheres, poles, horizons and concentric planetary orbits ringed with zodiac signs, with simple linework and dense hatching that a designer could borrow for astronomical or geometric motifs.
