Lambeck, Peter, 1628-1680 · 1671 · Hildesiæ, : sumptibus Arnoldi Castens & Alberti Weiskops,; : typis Johannis Ludolphi Ebelii., M DC LXXI. [1671] · 3 pictures

A 1671 Latin geography teaching aid by Peter Lambeck, printed at Hildesheim for Arnold Castens and Albert Weiskops, summarising Philipp Cluver's introduction to geography in synoptic tables for easier study and review. The three pictures are letterpress-era decorative devices: a central cartouche of scrolls, a cherub and masks, a horizontal strapwork band with figures, and a heraldic shield with a crest, banner reading Gaudeo, and foliate mantling. A designer could draw on their scroll-work, strapwork and heraldic framing for period ornament.
