Le monde ou La géographie universelle : contenant les descriptions, les cartes, et le blason, des principaux païs du monde.
A geography book by Pierre Duval, printed in Paris in 1676 and published by the author himself for general readers. Its pictures are small copper-engraved maps set into the gutter of the page, showing coastlines, mountain ranges drawn in hatching, and dense place-name lettering with latitude and longitude scales along the borders. A designer could take from them the decorative charm of early cartographic linework, cartouche-like framing, and the mix of script and geometric grid.
