Clüver, Philipp, 1580-1622, Heinsius, Daniel, 1580-1655 · 1641 · Brunsvigæ : typis Balthasaris Gruberi, : sumptibus Gothofredi Mulleri. · 27 pictures

Philipp Clüver's 1641 Latin geography textbook, printed at Brunswick by Balthasar Gruber for Gotthard Müller, introduces the ancient and modern world through engraved regional maps. The pictures are copperplate maps of Eastern Europe, Thrace, Moesia and Dacia, and Pannonia with Illyricum, densely lettered with rivers, mountain hatching, cartouche title plates and sea borders. A designer might take their fine line hatching, ornate cartouches and antique lettering as period cartographic styling.
