Historia De Gentibvs Septentrionalibvs
Historia De Gentibvs Septentrionalibvs is a 1562 Latin natural history of the peoples and customs of the north, written by Olaus Magnus and adapted by Cornelius de Schrijver, held by Heidelberg University Library. The woodcuts show northern fauna, fishing and seafaring scenes, and ships, drawn in dense black line with hatched shading and no colour. A designer might borrow the crosshatched rendering of waves, rock and animal fur, and the compact, text-framed picture panels.
