Relationis historicae semestralis vernalis continuatio.

Memmius, Conrad · 1681 · [Frankfurt] : Durch Sigismundi Latomi, sonsten Mäurers genannt sel. Erben, fortgeführt, und verlegt · 1 picture

A semiannual German news report printed in Frankfurt in 1681 by the heirs of Sigismund Latomus, aimed at readers wanting current events and omens. The single picture is a black-and-white woodcut-style page of strange sky phenomena: a bird-like figure, a sword-like beam, a compass rose, and a figure with a bow below. A designer might take the rough, crowded engraving density and the sky-omen motifs as texture for period or hand-drawn graphic work.
