Uslegung der Mercarthen oder Cartha marina : darin man sehen mag, wo einer in der wellt sey, vnd wo ein yetlich Landt, Wasser, vnd Stadt gelegen ist. Das alles in dem Büchlin zůfinden
This 1527 German geography book, printed in Strassburg by Johannes Grieninger and edited by Lorenz Fries, presents a woodcut-illustrated account of the world's lands, waters and cities, aimed at a general readership. The pictures are crude black-and-white woodcuts of strange peoples, animals and walled towns, with bold hatching and simple outlines that a designer could draw on for antique map-style or early-modern naturalist imagery.
