Gulielmi Pisonis ... De Indiae utriusque re naturali et medica libri quatuordecim ?quorum contenta pagina sequens exhibet.
A 1658 Amsterdam natural history of Brazil and the East Indies by Willem Piso, edited by Jakob de Bondt and Georg Marggraf and printed by the Elzevir brothers, aimed at physicians and naturalists. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut fish, drawn in side view with fine hatched shading and scaled bodies, useful to a designer as compact examples of early engraved line work for natural history subjects.
