Noua reperta
Noua reperta is a series of engraved plates published in Antwerp around 1590, designed by Jan van der Straet and engraved by Philippe Galle and Jan Collaert, presenting European inventions and discoveries with Latin captions. The pictures are dense, finely hatched monochrome scenes of studies, workshops and ships, with the Latin verses set in a strip below each image; a designer might borrow their crosshatched tonal rendering and the compact, multi-episode layout of a single plate.
