Neu-aussgefertigter Kleiner Atlas, In Zweyen Theilen

Müller, Johann Ulrich · 1702 · bey Georg Wilhelm Kühnen Buch-Händlern · 70 pictures

A small German atlas of 1702 by Johann Ulrich Müller, printed for the Nuremberg bookseller Georg Wilhelm Kühn as a compact two-part set for general readers. Each page pairs a small copperplate map in a ruled frame with a numbered German text listing regions, peoples, cities and islands. A designer can take from these the dense, orderly layout of small framed maps set above tidy columns of type, with decorative floral and fruit ornaments as dividers.
