Honter, Johannes, 1498-1549 · 1552 · Tiguri : apud Froschouerum. · 21 pictures

A 1552 cosmography printed at Zurich by Froschauer under Johannes Honter, a Transylvanian Saxon scholar, for students learning geography. Its pictures are woodcut maps of the ancient and early modern world, with dense place names, hatched coastlines and small town symbols that suggest a clear, legible map style for a designer to borrow from.
