Matal, Jean · 1594 · 63 pictures

A 1594 Latin atlas of France, Austria and Switzerland by Jean Matal, issued for political scholars and merchants and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its pictures are engraved copperplate maps with decorative cartouche title panels, set on pale paper with the printed text visible around each plate. A designer might borrow the dense hand-cut line work of rivers, mountain hatching and town symbols, or the ornate cartouche frames.
