Libro de la cosmographia is a 1548 Spanish-language cosmography textbook by Peter Apian with additions by Gemma Frisius, printed and sold in Antwerp by Gregorio Bontio for a readership learning astronomy, geography and navigation. Its woodcut pictures are diagrams: zoned globe maps with labelled climate bands, a flat parallel-circle grid, a triangulation sketch of a town on a sphere with an observer's instrument, and a meridian sundial in a boxed stand, all in simple black line that suggests clear schematic labelling for infographics.
